Re: Deep Impact Mission
The sad thing about all of this is that there's this astrologer in Russia who's saying that the mission messed up her astrology business and caused her "moral sufferings". So she's suing NASA for $300M, the price of the mission.

I have some questions about this...
1. How did she not see this coming?
2. How did she conclude that the balance of nature in the universe is worth $300M?
3. Why isn't she using this to her advantage? eg, telling her clients: "You need to come back in for a new reading! NASA's mission messed everything up!"

*sigh*.... Can I sue her for $300M for the emotional suffering I've had from knowing that such stupidity as this exists in the world?
