OK! Great mission concept!
But, to make you all a little worried [just a tiny bit!],
that copper probe, if it successfully impacts that comet nuclei, will also change the momentum, and trajectory of that comet very very slighty.
That's OK...I think. I think know what you're going to say , Mr. Mayer: JPL scientists have already taken that into
consideration, and there's very very...very little
likelihood that that comet's slightly altered
trajectory will not endanger Earth for the foreseeable future.
Actually, I'm kidding about you needing to worry about htat comet.
But I believe it's possible Johnny may one day
fall out of a plane over your city and land directly on top of you...Heh heh heh!
