The completed rocket will roll out to the launch pad February 24, in advance of the anticipated liftoff February 26 at 0716 GMT (2:16 a.m. EST) from the ELA-3 pad in Kourou.

If the mission is successful I'll post here again in 2014. :)
 
Hope you've marked it in the forum Calendar Jimbo. :)
 
Launch delayed until Friday so I need to adjust my 10-year calendar.
 
It would save a lot of money and resources if one of these comets was found to be on a collision course with Earth. We could check the contents and materials at leisure then.
 
Well its on its way. Having looked at the BBC website for details, I did not quite realise the sort of journey the probe has to make before it gets to the final rendezvous point

I would suggest that going twice into the asteroid belt is just asking for trouble
