Completely incorrect

R.L. — 7/4/2005 6:05:56 PM (archived)

First, the spacecraft is still out there sending back data... second, the impactor revealed data about comet composition we could get no other way, third every scope on mauna kea was watching to collect data (do you think they would schedule time for something that was just a waste of money? Keck time runs about $1.50 per second)

Quit being an ignorant luddite...
