It's now less than one-year until the scheduled launch of the comet probe, DEEP IMPACT.
To bring you up-to-speed, those of you who don't know little about this mission, it's supposed to send a massive copper-ball smashing into a comet-nuclei
to [theoretically] gouge out a crater
the size of a football field...that's according
to the estimates of MOST 'experts'...
But...there are a few PHDs who wonder if the impact will actually trigger the complete destruction of the comet.
That might draw the negative-interest
of some radical 'environmental' groups.
The fringe elements...

Hey! Bowser!...This might be the opportunity you've been waiting for!
You can whip out those placards and lead a protest march down to JPL in Pasadena.
You could demand that JPL "save a comet": putting that celestial body
in the same category as "whales, giant Redwoods and spotted owls".
