Is anyone else monitoring the progress with the Deep Impact NASA project? I am very interested to see the results. I have read that we will be able to see a live broadcast of images received from the impactor seconds before it hits the comet in the webcast.
They are also doing live video of mission control, interesting to listen to!

Grrr
I'm watching. I'm also annoyed - I was hoping to watch it myself (it will just about have got dark in NZ by then, and we're in the right place) but there's nothing but cloud out there. ho hum.

Wow indeed
Flying around in spaceships and blowing stuff up. How cool is that?
I can't believe those images. Incredible.

Meanwhile, back in the asylum...
MOSCOW, Russia (Reuters) -- A Russian astrologist who says NASA has altered her horoscope by crashing a spacecraft into a comet is suing the U.S. space agency for damages of $300 million, local media has reported.
NASA deliberately crashed its probe, named Deep Impact, into the Tempel 1 comet to unleash a spray of material formed billions of years ago which scientists hope will shed new light on the composition of the solar system.
"It is obvious that elements of the comet's orbit, and correspondingly the ephemeris, will change after the explosion, which interferes with my astrology work and distorts my horoscope," Izvestia daily quoted astrologist Marina Bai as saying in legal documents submitted before Monday's collision.
A spokeswoman for a Moscow district court said initial preparations for the case were underway but could not say when the hearing would begin. NASA representatives in Moscow were unavailable for comment.
