Deep Impact Probe to comet
Did anybody else catch the Deep Impact Probe flying into a comet? I heard a snippet on the news, and just looked at the NASA pics. Interesting stuff for the astronomy buffs.

Re: Deep Impact Probe to comet
i heard about it awhile back, but did not know it made an impact on the 4th. i wonder what happens in time to 5 tons of nuclear in space?
there is a cool vid on it at CNN.  i could not find any good pics but did find some great recent ones of the rings around saturn. |

Re: Deep Impact Probe to comet
I have to admit, this sort of experiment makes me more than a little nervous - especially if we accidentally nudged the comet into a near-earth parabola.

Re: Deep Impact Probe to comet
Kindest Regards, Brian!
Of course, we run a risk by living. What's to say a sneeze might not begin a hurricane halfway around the world? Maybe it is a simplistic belief, but I figure whatever is going to happen, is going to happen. In the end, all I can do is try to deal with it...  |

Re: Deep Impact Probe to comet
it is like shooting pool with all the balls never going into the pockets.
350 million dollars is a cheap science project, they might make a pool game out of it. i just hope they use something different next time instead of nuclear. asteroids anyone? |
