You're kidding right? The probe is puny compared to the comet and they've calculated the risks and found none whatsoever...It's been likened to a mosquito hitting an airliner and even if it does break apart, the comet is very far away. None of the pieces are even going to come close to Earth...perhaps Stephen can verify this..
