<Amalthea is a pretty interesting rock. It's the reddest object in the solar system and it generates more heat than it receives. I think it's about the size of New Jersey. If they can take some close up photos for a lousy few hundred thousand bucks and they're not doing it NASA is SCREWED UP in a very big way. They spend literally a thousand times that with FBC missions to much smaller asteroids and comets. Just take off all the damn safe modes and let the camera roll. This is Galileo's last hurrah. It's idiotic to not give it a shot.

If I had the money I'd donate it. Maybe they'd name a mountain on Amalthea after me...
