"She earlier told the paper that the experiment would "deform her horoscope"

I think she should first worry about her deformed brain! : )

Thanks, Tom

> MOSCOW (AP) - NASA's mission that sent a space probe smashing into a comet
raised more than cosmic dust - it also brought a lawsuit from a Russian
astrologer.
>
> 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.
>
> The probe's comet crash sent up a cloud of debris that scientists hope to
examine to learn how the solar system was formed.
>
> Bai is seeking damages totaling 8.7 billion rubles ($300 million) - the
approximate equivalent of the mission's cost - for her "moral sufferings,"
Izvestia said, citing her lawyer Alexander Molokhov. She earlier told the
paper that the experiment would "deform her horoscope."
>
> NASA representatives in Russia could not immediately be reached for
comment.
>
> Scientists say the crash did not significantly alter the comet's orbit
around the sun and said the experiment does not pose any danger to Earth.
