Amazing stuff !

My name is actually on board that spacecraft, and will be scattered all over Comet Temple I upon impact.

Very cool event.

Now, wouldn't it be ironic if the hit deflected the comet (or a piece of it) into a collision course with Earth?

I would imagine they've considered this.

It's amazing how they arranged this for the Fourth of July. Take that anti-Americans!! Bwahahaha!

Since, as they state in the article, the Earth's water may have come from comets, I wonder whether small engines placed on very large comets could steer them into Mars as a first step in terraforming that planet?

Normal, modern human beings need someplace to go to get away from the Neanderthalic Muslims.

Since I can't live 200 years in the future, this isn't a bad time to be alive.

Thanks go out to all you smart folks that keep me in awe.

Scientists think the impact could make Tempel 1 glow brightly enough to be visible to naked-eye observers in the days that follow the collision.

I certainly hope so. This is much better than the very expensive "make work" manned missions.

Comet Crasher alert!

Thempact will probaboy knock the comet off course such that it collides with and unites with another larger comet thus changing course again such that it collides with Chicago and we're all gonna die.
