One for the budget fetishists
These close flybys are always useful to point out to that (to my mind at least) unimaginative swathe of humanity who insist, without apparent thought, that any spending on space is an utter waste of money and there are more problems to fix here on Earth. Pointing out that a larger one will eventually come a great deal closer, solving all those problems in a flash, rarely changes their minds, but does at least put their fervent fundraising for emotionally traumatised squirrels in perspective, albeit briefly.
