Suing NASA for Comet Play

Scars Publications,
the name John J. Yotko, and
the name Janet L. Kuypers
were placed on a CD
that went on the Impactor
on NASA’s Deep Impact space mission
and hit the asteroid Templ 1
on July fourth, two thousand five

according to NASA, the flight
was a smashing success, but
a Russian astrologer is suing NASA
for thirty million dollars in damages
for the “moral trauma” their mission
has caused her

Marina Bay said
“any variation in the orbit
or the composition of the Tempel comet
will certainly affect her own fate”
and her lawyer, Alexander Molokhov, said
“Nobody has yet proven
that this experiment was safe.
This impact could have altered
the orbit of the comet, so now
there is a chance the comet
may destroy the Earth some day!”

NASA analogized Deep Impact as
to mosquito hitting the front
of an airliner in flight, having no effect
on the asteroid
besides, NASA rests
on astronomy’s scientific laurels
instead of using astrology
to guess the future
