Deep Impact Blasts Off For Comet Tempel 1
Wynken de Word writes "NASA's Deep Impact, a copper-fortified, comet-busting spacecraft, was launched Wednesday afternoon. 'NASA had a single second - at precisely eight seconds past 1:47 p.m. - to send Deep Impact on a 431-million-kilometre, six-month voyage to Comet Tempel 1.' The goal is to blast a big hole in the comet and check out what's preserved inside. Also see the Deep Impact site."
They'll find Saddam's WMD. They have to be somewhere seeing as the US finally called back the inspectors.

She's built like a steak house, but she handles like a bistro....

Maybe something we could blame on America ?
WMD's ?!?
A one paragraph letter titled French Military Victories ?
Only time will tell!
"I believe today that my conduct is in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator"-Adolf Hitler or George W Bush?
Check it out. With some luck, this could be a movie that might give us faith again into those action movies where everything is all over the place.
Earth and that comet are both places where humanity is invading, waging war, and making a total nuisance of itself...
