Remember Deep Space One? I don't remember a lot of publicity about this craft. It did get close to Comet Borrelly. The timing was bad, though; it was September 2001. Below is an image of the comet taken on 9-25-01.

Remember Deep Space One? This technology is the same technology that will be used in asteroid mining. Of course the results of the mission are entirely satisfactory to future asteroid miners.
