Re: Deep impact mission sounds scary!!!

I don't like this misson. There are better ways to study this thing. Land on it and do the probing!! Just what we need to do. Blow this thing to bits so it can rain down on us,possibly.It ain't worth the chance.

"The impact spacecraft will fly head-on into the comet at 23,000 mph. According to A'Hearn, some scientists think the impact could fracture the comet into several pieces, while others believe the impact will merely compress the cometary materials."

Re: Deep impact mission sounds scary!!!

We already have a DI thread in which you have already postedhttp://www.newmars.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3432]Thread Link can we keep them together rather than have new threads spread all over the board.

Whose speed was far faster than light;
She set out one day
in a relative way
And returned on the previous night.

Re: Deep impact mission sounds scary!!!

*ERRORIST, you have repeatedly -- at least 5 times by my unofficial count -- brought up the topic of your fear of the Deep Impact Mission.

Could you please make this your final thread on the topic?  ???  I know you have created at least one other thread about Deep Impact regarding your concerns.  That's *in addition to* the original thread created by SpaceNut.  You've brought the issue up in various other threads, to the point of going off-topic in them.  :-\

It takes a lot to annoy me, but you are succeeding brilliantly.

GCNRevenger and I, and others, have already previously addressed YOUR fears (no one else at the boards exhibits this level of concern and fright but you). 

It's a science mission.  That's it.  Please get over it, okay?

Your repeated attempts at fearmongering at this message board, in a variety of topics, is getting tiresome. 

Thanks.

--Cindy

P.S.:  The chances of any cometary debris from DI flying over into our direction and hitting Earth is nil.  In fact, I dare say the chances this happening are none, based on the great distance of the comet from us.

Re: Deep impact mission sounds scary!!!

This thread is being locked. Let it rest. There's another thread about this mission anyway.
