NASA's excited about getting to go "Hollywood" on a comet. I couldn't stop laughing when I was reading this article simply because of how it's written. It's written in a comical way.

The big, grown-up boys on the NASA team can hardly wait. Next Fourth of July, they get to bust up a comet, Hollywood-style. "Blow things up? I'm there. Yeah, I don't have any issue with that," says Richard Grammier, manager of the project for Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The spacecraft is called Deep Impact just like the 1998 movie about a comet headed straight for Earth. NASA's goal is to blast a crater into Comet Tempel 1 and analyze the ice, dust and other primordial stuff hurled out of the pit. |
I think it sounds fun. Who wouldn't want a little excitement when your whole life is trying to convince people that we really did land on the moon? Now, they will have a chance to try to convince people that we really did land on a comet (or however they plan to do that).
