Renowned Egyptian Geologist Zaghlul Al-Naggar: Deep Impact Spacecraft Had a Military Goal and Negligible Scientific Value
Following is an excerpt from and interview with Egyptian geologist Dr. Zaghlul Al-Naggar, which aired on Al-Jazeera TV on July 5, 2005.
Dr. Zaghlul Al-Naggar: The main goal of this operation (Deep Impact) is military. America wants to prove to the world that it is capable of hitting a target with a circumference of no more than six kilometers, hundreds of millions of kilometers away. The goal is first and foremost a military one, and its scientific benefit is negligible. I doubt that the samples they obtained could yield scientific results of any value.
