"OK, you told it. Twice now. It's a lame attempt to do a sandbox bit of personal provocation--and I've told you to start a chat thread or space program thread if you just HAVE to keep discussing it. I'm not in the least chagrined or reluctant, if that's what you're hoping for, it's just not relevant here. Elsewhere? Any time."

Was it incorrect? If so, then that goes against your claim that stories are never wrong.

" Lab models."

Oh, so they didn't actually reproduce a comet in the lab.

"That's what makes it different from tale-spinning--there are stakes."

If there are no stakes in whether evolution is correct or not, why do you care?

??

No, well, they just hit one in real life after years of trying to model it any way they could. Deep Impact Avionics.

But they didn't know whether they were right until they blew $500M. Turns out they were right. But they could have been wrong.

Now they still have the craft moving, and hope to program some small mission as it goes farther into deep space. Still in communication. They didn't think it would survive (at least they didn't dare hope), so they were wrong about something, too.
