Astrologist sues NASA over comet crash


MOSCOW (Reuters) - A Russian astrologist who says NASA has altered her horoscope by crashing a spacecraft into a comet is suing the U.S. space agency for damages of $300 million, local media reported Monday.

NASA deliberately crashed its probe, named Deep Impact, into the Tempel 1 comet to unleash a spray of material formed billions of years ago which scientists hope will shed new light on the composition of the solar system.

"It is obvious that elements of the comet's orbit, and correspondingly the ephemeris, will change after the explosion, which interferes with my astrology work and distorts my horoscope," Izvestia daily quoted astrologist Marina Bai as saying in legal documents submitted before Monday's collision.

A spokeswoman for a Moscow district court said initial preparations for the case were underway but could not say when the hearing would begin. NASA representatives in Moscow were unavailable for comment.

I question the proficiency and accuracy of this person's horoscopical abilities if she couldn't predict this well-publicized event.  After all, was it predicted in the stars?

The universe is not static, lady, and we are a part of it. Go cry.

Well, you know, with their quality-control, the Russian space program will do anything for funding these days!

I say she should get the money. Astrology is how she makes her living and the orbit was allegedly changed by the impact.


But first she must prove that the orbit has been changed. Considering the size of the comet and the size of the impactor that should be possible to prove sometime in the next 2 million years. Tell her to hold her breath till then.  ;D

ahhh the good old pointless lawsuit era hits Russia. I think outer mongolia is still untouched, any lawyer want an office there? I heard a mule kicked a farmer in the groin. Maybe we can sue it.

Aren't there other comets she can use for her horoscope?

Anyone who believes that lumps of rock and ice whirling around in space can in some way have an impact on your day (short of crashing on your head) should be locked up in a room with rubber wallpaper
This is like someone proving how old the Earth is and then some other person finds out they made a mistake in the calculations and the Earth is in fact a Libra and not a Gemini

Ahh! The moon is getting closer! Sue all astronomers!
