I suspect this is their real reason for wanting to smash into that comet.

Whatever the outcome, scientists expect to learn something about deflecting a killer comet -- or possibly an asteroid -- if one ever happens Earth's way. Comets, after all, have hit Earth before and are thought to have brought water with them.
