I disagree.

 

Total cost of the mission is 1.4 Billion.

 

Meanwhile kids are dying all over the world now.

You could throw that and a lot more money at the problem and then more people will simply rely on it, the population will increase in proportion, and the same size issue of starving children will still be there.

 

Meanwhile by pushing the boundaries of exploration, new technologies are devised and refined and many ultimately find uses in downstream applications.

1.5 billion is a drop in the ocean - especially as we could potentially learn the answers to some interesting questions about the origins of our species from the trip - or at least rule some out.

Clearly this comet is heading for earth and needs blowing up

 

Disguising it as some mission to find out what type of gloop we're made from stops the inevitable looting/panic.

 

It's not 500 trillion miles away either, it's about 2 days from impact. Nor is it the size of a village - it's 50 miles wide and will wipe us out in the blink of an eye.

 

If I were you, I'd be getting drunk tonight and punting as much bing up your conk as you can manage.

Answers that dying kids couldn't give a fuck about.

 

The future is more important than the past.
