Have there been any proposals to stick a transmitter on a passing comet? Probably extremely tricky, but hey, free spaceship!

Kinda… but to rendezvous with it you need to be moving as fast as it is. So why bother with the comet? Just launch the transmitter.

But then we wouldn't have a transmitter on a comet, which would be pretty cool.
