Are we sure we want to do this? Screwing with a comet in this manner strikes me as somewhat risky considering the I-wonder-what-might-happen factor.

I hope that the Poindexters at NASA pondered that factor...

The Jet Propulsion Lab had some neat ideas:

They wanted to nuke the moon, and to upstage the commies in the space race, we had Project Red Socks.

What's the point of this? Why are we spending Millions - if not, Billions - on this project? I see absolutely no scientific benefit from this project.

Hats off to NASA!

The best I can do with either my .270 or the .30-06 is about 300 yards.

Your tax dollars at work...

That "washing-machine" and getting it up there in space cost us 300 million dollars, by the way. And we're going to watch it explode.
