>What would be the purpose?
It's an exercise in manned interplanetary spaceflight in preparation for future missions that accomplish more. Just getting humans to another planet and back is a huge accomplishment on its own, and the first step on the path toward landings and the establishment of a base on another planet.

The idea with NASA's original Venus Flyby was that it could be accomplished using existing Apollo hardware with minimum modification. Having proven it was possible to go to another planet, NASA would have been in a position to spend the resources to develop a new set of vehicles needed for landings on other planets.
