| Russian Astrologer Sues NASA Over Comet |
| 2005-07-05 |
| Better pay attention, she's a Russian astrologer. The mimes must be on vacation. MOSCOW - NASA's mission that sent a space probe smashing into a comet raised more than cosmic dust — it also brought a lawsuit from a Russian astrologer. Marina Bai has sued the U.S. space agency, claiming the Deep Impact probe that punched a crater into the comet Tempel 1 late Sunday "ruins the natural balance of forces in the universe," the newspaper Izvestia reported Tuesday. A Moscow court has postponed hearings on the case until late July, the paper said. If I sneeze, does it ruin the natural balance of forces in the universe? Guess I better stay away from this chick. The probe's comet crash sent up a cloud of debris that scientists hope to examine to learn how the solar system was formed. Bai is seeking damages totaling 8.7 billion rubles ($300 million) — the approximate equivalent of the mission's cost — for her "moral sufferings," Izvestia said, citing her lawyer Alexander Molokhov. She earlier told the paper that the experiment would "deform her horoscope." I'd wait a little while before I'd go out and price the new Mercedes, counselor. NASA representatives in Russia could not immediately be reached for comment. I'm sure the media is camped outside his house waiting. Scientists say the crash did not significantly alter the comet's orbit around the sun and said the experiment does not pose any danger to Earth. Yeah,... that's just what they want you to think. |

| #6 Muck - That guy "left with" the Hale-Bopp comet of '97 not Temple I of '05. "Bo" (the person in your link picture) drank Vodka, took Barbiturates, and put a sack over his head so as to be swept up in the UFO hiding in the comet Hale-Bopp's tail.... He took about 40 others with him. A mini-Jonestown near San Diego, California... |
