This mission has been going on so long I've forgotten about it. But soon, with lots of luck, a nice lander will be sitting on the surface of a comet. There's a mission out to Pluto going on.
I think it will take 9 years.
Yes, I forgot the name and dates!

Aww. That's too bad. They probably launched that mission when Pluto was still a planet. What are they going to do now that Pluto is just rocky debris orbiting the sun at a great distance?

New Horizons begins sending our first images of Pluto in less than a year. Its closest approach will be in 2015.
