Was it always planned for Rosetta to fly by those two asteroids? Because that seems pretty impressive to account for those two as well. I mean the formula is great and all, but even in the vacuum of space, seems like it would be tons of variables to account for to get all those gravity assists and the fly-bys right.
What sort of manoeuvrability does this thing have anyway?
Edit - Got some answers from this ELI5 video here lol:
