How do we know that any results from Tempel 1 will apply to all comets?

0

The short answer is, “we don’t”. This mission will give scientists a great deal more information on which to base models and predictions about comets, but there is no guarantee that anything learned here is universal to all comets. Further such missions would be helpful to increase the knowledge base, but are unlikely due to time and cost considerations.
