Bigger than expected impact apparently. The next few weeks should produce some remarkable photography from this event.

Couldnt see it "live" since I dont have NasaTV (cable system doesnt offer it) but saw it on CNN International as it was going on.  Looks like a direct hit.

Like Rip said, Im looking forward to see the images from Hubble, ground stations and the Deep Impact camera unit.

Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do...

How important, or coincidental, do you guys think it is that this NASA mission was timed to culminate on the 4th of July?

Only 365 days in a year, and they "missed" by a day so..

But you never know.

When you have 2 or 3 years to plan it, and have your choice of day to pick, why NOT pick the 4th? Excellent PR job to bring awareness (and more taxpayer money via exposure) to NASA.

  Yep, I know it impressed the bejeebus outa me.
  We can`t  seem to find a cure for cancer through research..or hell even the common cold as far as that goes.
  We have people in our country living on the streets that we as a country can`t come up with a way to house or feed.
We can`t seem to be able to afford adequate health care for our citizens and we are in such a financial bind that ways are being came up with to take away any support and funding for the elderly that has worked all their life for this country.
  But Hey!! We can spend all this money to shoot rocks in outer space. How much better can it get?
