Mrs Boroda?

Well, we have all kinds of looneys here now - it's a clear sign of Democracy and the victory over Evil Soviet Regime (tm).

I'll not be surprised if some female judge who believes all this astrological bull**** will make a decision against NASA. Welcome to "civilized world"!

I really laughed at Sergey Dorenko's comment today on "Ekho Moskvy" radio: "You don't understand a true meaning of this event, it wasn't in fact an American space probe hitting the poor comet, it was a comet smashing an American probe out of it's way!"

If NASA is going to keep stealing my hard earned money, I wish they'd go back to spending it on more practical things, like inventing pressurized cheese in a can, and pens that write upside down. Damn Thieves.

We can`t seem to find a cure for cancer through research..or hell even the common cold as far as that goes.

If we didn't have the science that's been developed from space research we wouldn't have to tools to even study cancer.

Space research doesn't get much better. It will bring new technologies to help mankind just as it has for the last 50 years. But we've been over this before, do a search.

I guess we were lucky, Hawaii was apparently situated perfectly for viewing. The local museum is building a planetarium and they hosted an event on their lawn for people to come hang out with binoculars and telescopes. They also had a live web feed on a large projector screen from the NASA cameras. They also had a big movie screen setup on Waikiki beach showing it as well. We just decided to be lazy and watched it on OLN.
