NASA's fireworks show
Some of you may know already know about NASA's Deep Impact mission.
http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/deepimpact/main/index.html
The real interesting stuff should start happening around 11:53 pm
tonight when the guidance system on the impactor comes online to begin
the final manuevers necessary to bring it on a collision course with the
comet. Impact is currently scheduled for 1:52 AM on July 4th.
For those of you who get NASA TV via cable, watch that. For the rest who
don't but have broadband connections: http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/
Sorry to those who get this twice. Especially sorry to those who get
this three times (like Jaskie, Dark, Paul, and the Senkows)
