Pangloss Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 I keep wondering why we haven't gotten an earful from the end-of-the-world crowd about Deep Impact. Are they still hanging their heads in shame about the Millenium Bug, or are they all too busy preparing for Peak Oil now?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the tree Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 I hadn't heard anything about it until the thread on these forums. I'm sure something has to be well known before it can be called a cover-up. The Millenium Bug one bordered on genuine, planes wouldn't have fallen from the sky but some buisnesses would certainly have been disrupted if they didn't take a couple of hours to prepare for it.

Ewen Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 I think it's because they know there isn't a cat in hell's chance of anything disastrous coming from what's happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dak Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 no-ones worried that the comet might return fire? Or get thrown off course and into the sun, which would then explode? Pangaloss is right, the dooms-dayers are getting lazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Actually, that comet is the return of Hale-Bopp, there's a spaceship hiding behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pangloss Posted July 6, 2005 Author Share Posted July 6, 2005 Oh no, I spoke too soon! http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/wire/sns-ap-russia-comet-case,1,2124097.story?coll=sns-ap-world-headlines 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the tree Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 She's sueing? Can we all sue then? Could the whole world sue NASA? That'd be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greentea Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 well, having in mind that unfortunately the people who believe in astrology are so numerous, NASA will soon go bankrupt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the tree Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 You sure about that? I know lots of people read horoscopes but I'm sure it's a miniscule amount who take them seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo2011 Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Taking them seriously and claiming to for one's own benefit are two different things. btw, did that astrologer predict that NASA would do this and she would benefit financially from it?
