Deep Impact Space Probe Aims to Slam Into Comet

Quote:

If all goes as scheduled, the NASA (news - web sites) Deep Impact spacecraft, set for launch on Dec. 30, will gently let go of the 820-pound impactor on July 4, 2005, and the comet's rocky part will hit it at a speed of 23,800 miles an hour.

"We're going to hit it and see what happens," astronomer Michael A'Hearn of the University of Maryland said at a briefing outside Washington.

Good plan, while we're at it we should just blow up Pluto for next Fourth of July.

It's like we can turn the universe into some cosmic game of pool. I like it!

Boxers use that theory all the time. Maybe they should ask Danny Williams, when he come out of his Klitchko inflicted coma that is.
