" Welcome to PM/AM, Popular Mechanics&amp;#039; morning briefing on the top science and tech stories for today.  After 10 years of relentless pursuit, the European Space Agency&amp;#039;s Rosetta probe is about to reach its target. As Wired reports, Rosetta is slowly catching up to comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko at a distance of 4.3 billion miles from Earth. The craft is exiting what the crew calls &amp;quot;rotisserie mode,&amp;quot; which is essentially Rosetta spinning on its axis to maintain course.  Now, ESA needs to tackle a challenge a decade in the making\u2014landing the probe on the speeding hunk of ice and rock. The team plans to orbit the comet first, extensively map its exterior, and then approach for a landing in November. But even from a distance, the ESA has already learned a lot about the comet, such as its size and rotation, even though the comet is little more than a couple pixels right now. When the team actually touches the spacecraft down on its surface, who knows what science they&amp;#039;ll uncover. Read This Chimps inherit their smarts from their parents...
