This came up and I thought some of you might be interested.
--> GET READY FOR A COLLISION WITH A COMET
Most people do everything they can to protect their vehicles from
collisions. But NASA is getting ready to smash an expensive spacecraft
into the Tempel I comet.
Don't bother to call your representatives. They already know. NASA
hopes the spacecraft will burrow into the rock, giving scientists a
look at what is inside. Images will beamed back to Earth.
All of this will take place this weekend. And you probably can watch.
