A little premature angst on my part.
It pays to do a slow careful read of a story, which I didn't do.
Your story on Deep Impact-1 was actually quite positive;
no naysayers or wacked-out hippy environmentalists mentioned whatsoever.
But you never know! .... There are kooks and wierdos out there
who would bring in lawyers and do sit-ins and protests to keep NASA from damaging and marring a pristine comet nucleus.
Buh humbug to them!
