Did we land on a comet or asteroid?

[bushiri2005]

Hi I got this burning question. I know future missions will land on a comet. But I vaguely recall we landed on one already or was it an asteroid or was it a daydream. Id like to know the name of that mission please!<br />I eagerly await any response
