Hell yes - they it would be madness to throw away a fantastic instrument in space with so much opportunity to do good science. Be it an Asteroid, Comet or BOTH flybys
 Genesis - granted - not much it could do ( and I believe it's now officially retired, and drifting into a slight earth leading solar orbit ) Stardust - it's going to be a tired, fuel-starved vehicle when it gets home. But this is almost brand new Doug |
