It currently produces 1-5 liters of water vapor per second and gases include: carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, ammonia, methane, methanol. http://blogs.esa.int/rosetta/2014/10/03/measuring-comet-67pc... We could put a self sustaining base on it or on similar comets in the future.
Otherwise it's fine.

Also the surface temperature seems to be -68.15C (avg) - typical Syberia, only there is no atmosphere and sufficient gravity and magnetic field to protect from radiation. Otherwise it's fine.
Nobody is going to walk on it naked. The conditions on the comet are amazing compared to the ISS, which is currently supporting life.
The comet has everything you need, water, organic material, shielding from radiation, decent size, raw material, energy.

That "magnetic field to protect from radiation" part is pretty important, though. (ISS is inside the Earth's magnetic field.)
It is really easy if you have just a little material:
The short film is very much worth a watch, if folks are wondering.
Good visuals, but the script is nonsense. They are really trying to invoke that warm feeling inside. Unfortunately watching Littlefinger posing as a deity, forced me to laugh. Using an unknown actor would sell it better. ( I'm not trying to be mean, that was just the impression I got. )

His character isn't a deity. I believe the background is that they're on an alien planet some time in the future and are just beginning to terraform it. They happen to be using "sufficiently advanced technology" (in the sense of Clarke's third law).
For what it’s worth, I thought the dialog was excellently written. A scene like that more or less invites overwrought, ham-fisted lines but the writers exercised some remarkable restraint (and Gillen and the newcomer match it with their deliveries).

I'm very much looking forward to the lander doing its thing. The photos will be breathtaking!
