The summary doesn't make this clear, but the 'revisit' to Tempel 1 (nor the other additional tasks) does not involve establishing orbit; according to TFA it will be a flyby. Thus the Dawn mission - if it achieves it's objectives - will still be the "first spacecraft to enter into orbit around two different planetary bodies other than the Earth and Moon" (from the Wikipedia article).

Incidentally, Dawn was scheduled for launch at 1609 EDT (2009 GMT) on 7th July 2007, but has now been delayed by approximately 24 hours, to 1604-1633 EDT (2004-2033 GMT) on 8th July 2007.

An anonymous reader writes "A BBC article reports about an interview between Click and Gary McKinnon who in 2002 hacked into NASA and other US Military networks. In the interview he talks about how he accessed machines by using default passwords and a conversation with a NASA network engineer using Wordpad. He also talks about how he found information about anti-gravity, UFO technology, free energy and how UFOs are regularly airbrushed out from high-resolution satellite images."
