Comet mining?
Probably will retrieve some samples. They can contain rare materials, the things aren't balls of useless space rock equivalent to gravel.

I think we should mine the asteroids..many more of them and much more stable than comets..no outgassing.Most are in a stable orbit,too,instead of zipping around the solar system.
Logistically,it makes more sense.
It's looking more like rock, split rock.
Why? Is knowledge a bad thing?
Who said knowledge is a bad thing? Almost 2 billion spent on a nothing quest is a bad thing.
How is it a 'nothing quest' when it has returned large amounts of data and the orbiter will continue to do so for another year or so?
It has solar panels; it will recharge when it swings back around the sun. And understanding our universe and what it's made of helps us better understand our world and ourselves. As humans God gave us an inquisitive spirit, to seek after Him in all ways we can; and as Christians we ought to be excited to discover new things about Creation.
What century would you have had us stop at in terms of scientific understanding of the world around us?
You can use science to your benefit, or use it to create science-fiction.
One of those can be tested and observed by people not yet convinced.
It's called scientific confirmation.
