A Russian astrologer is suing NASA because of a mission in which the US space agency will smash a probe into a comet. The Deep Impact spacecraft is essentially on a suicide run to the comet Tempel 1. The crash is intended to raise a cloud of debris that will enable scientists to study the comet's makeup. According to Marina Bai, if the mission is allowed to proceed, it will "disrupt the natural order of the universe." She is seeking the equivalent of $300 million in damages.
This woman is completely nuts.
When you consider the various appeals that are certain to follow any initial ruling, it becomes obvious that it will take years for this case to wind its way through the legal system. By then, Tempel 1, with its orbit unexpectedly altered by the impact, will have smashed into the Earth and annihilated all life on the planet in an all-consuming cataclysmic fiery inferno.
Miss Bai needs to lighten up.
