Sweet Success

Seems like Deep Impact was success, sweet success. Hearty congrats for a job well done to the folks at NASA, University of Maryland, JPL, Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corporation, and anyone else involved. Check it out. This was a project purportedly to study the interior of a comet, but I dare say that much, much more was learned, particularly along the lines of high speed intercepts.

She is concerned about the impact causes problems out in the universe....and she is demanding $300M in damages. I wonder just where she will spend it? The Cafe at the End of the Universe? The Great Galactic Preserve? I dunno, I think she's just going to pocket it. There's more, go read it!
