Russian Astrologer Sues NASA Over Comet

MOSCOW (AP) -- NASA's mission that sent a space probe smashing into a comet raised more than cosmic dust - it also brought a lawsuit from a Russian astrologer.

Marina Bai has sued the U.S. space agency, claiming the Deep Impact probe that punched a crater into the comet Tempel 1 late Sunday "ruins the natural balance of forces in the universe," the newspaper Izvestia reported Tuesday. A Moscow court has postponed hearings on the case until late July, the paper said.

The probe's comet crash sent up a cloud of debris that scientists hope to examine to learn how the solar system was formed.

Bai is seeking damages totaling 8.7 billion rubles ($300 million) - the approximate

Used to be that the moon landings caused all kinds of bad weather here on earth.

This lady should get a clue: you're supposed to be blaming global warming or Republicans or something. Sheesh, get this lady a subscription to Time or Newsweek so she can keep up.

Since this is in Russia he wouldn't be smoking dope, he would be shooting vodka from the bench.

I used to think that in America that this would be laughed out of court even by a leftist judge, not so sure about that anymore.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?

I think I remember when she first tried to sue NASA over this last year or early this year. I had thought the case was dismissed because the Russian courts decided NASA was not in their jurisdiction. I was aware that it was delayed. Very bizarre story.

The Russians are catching on to the American way to riches-sue somebody!
