Tonight at the time given on the website, a large projectile launched from a satalite will impact the comet.


It should give off a fireworks like burst in the night sky, near the constellation of Virgo [ Precisely, between the constellations legs... I believe. ]

Lol, as funny as that is, why do I actually believe you? :umm:

Still, it's landed already. :) First time NASA cheered about one of its missions crashing.

What a waste of money, though. Then again, NASA pretty much is...

We need to sort out the hundreds of problems on this planet before we worry about other ones. It's not like they're going anywhere...we can go look at them in 50 years or so when this planet is back in shape :)

Koma, as CJ might not be 'King', he is 'Staff' though, he is sort of 'King' over a mere 'Project', in other words: 'Able-to-kick-your-ass-from-here-to-digital-oblivion', I thought you would have learned something, my bad, I always tend to believe ill-minded people actually can change...

Cheers,

The difference is, Koma, I'm not spending billions wasting my time.

Believe me, if I could take over the world and solve all it's problems, I fucking well would. I'd start with your obnoxious attitude :)

mmmmyeah not a bad start, but I'd rather see them nuke a comet :) all in the name of science of course. :ohmy:
plus one of those f*ckers whiped out almost all living creatures on Earth 65 million years ago, so it's time we got our own back :p


EDIT: btw that temple 1 comet is one big bastard ...14 km tall, almost twice the height of Mt Everest :p is that considered big in spacey terms ?
:huh:

No :p Blue Giants are huge stars like 5x the size of our sun. That's pretty big.
In human terms, yes it's big, though :ohmy:

This clairvoyant woman is suing NASA for $150million because this Deep Impact mission has made 'alterations to the comet's orbit and is altering her horoscope'. Stupid bitch :)

But still, it's not like the universe is going anywhere. We need to solve problems on Earth first.

And maybe what we learn out in space could fucking help us and solve our problems on earth.


But your to fucking narrowminded to think of that, arn't you?


Yeah, thought so. :p

Oh, so crashing into a comet will help us stop world hunger, cure cancer and end global warming.


Do the words, 'get real' mean anything? :)

actually, global warming isn't really the greatest of our concerns. It's more of us killing ourselves. Which is inevitable anyway.
