Rick Grammier, 2nd from left, project manager, speaks at a briefing on NASA's Deep Impact space mission Friday, July 1, 2005, as other members of the team listen, at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. Scientists are hoping to create their own fireworks in space this Independence Day weekend by having Deep Impact release a probe on a collision course to blast a hole in comet Tempel 1 about 83 million miles from Earth. Seated from left are, Lindley Johnson, program executive, Grammier, Monte Henderson, program manager, Dave Spencer, mission manager and Jessica Rocca, systems engineer. (AP Photo/Nick Ut)

Soo, are they going to load "DeepThroat" into the chamber and fire him off so he can be the "Deep Impact"? :P
