From the Wisconsin State Journal comes news there will be a July 4th Comet Attack by the Federal Government. A NASA mission named Deep Impact will send a probe on a suicide journey into comet Tempel 1 currently falling through space at 23,000 miles an hour. The massive explosion expected to follow the impact should expose the theorized icy core of the comet. On our nation’s birthday for only $333 million dollars, scientists should be able to view pristine primordial space ice for the first time.
No cost estimate is given for restoring the comet’s natural environment back to it’s undisturbed natural beauty, nor was a Sierra Club spokesperson quoted in the article. NASA is guaranteeing that the unprovoked attack of a neighboring space object will not cause it to slam into earth in a retaliatory suicide attack. Government authorities are saying comet Temple I is being targeted because it keeps drifting close to Earth every six or seven years. Finally, NASA firmly denies that Hollywood interests were controlling the government in 1998 when the mission was conceived.
“The Deep Impact spacecraft shares the same name as a 1998 Hollywood disaster movie about a comet headed straight for Earth. NASA says that the names for the space mission and blockbuster movie were arrived at independently around the same time and by pure coincidence.”I hope NASA can back up their guarantee because there is speculation that violence far away in outer space potentially reaches the Earth.
