From News of the Weird:

Russian "astrologist" Marina Bai has filed a lawsuit in the Presnensky district court in Moscow against the U.S. government's NASA, claiming that her business will be ruined if the agency is allowed, as planned, to crash a rocket into the Tempel 1 comet on July 4 to see what can be learned from the experience. Bai said the collision will "interfere with the natural life of the universe," which will in turn harm her "system of spiritual values," and she seeks 8.7 billion rubles (about US$311 million, which is the reported cost of the entire mission). [Moscow News, 4-19-05]

First, I was unware that we were crashing a rocket into a comet. Mixed feelings on that one. Given NASA's track record (and please understand, I am a full supporter of space travel and exploration ... for other people. Strangely enough, I feel content to lay under the stars on a summer night and just watch them ... anyway, where was i? ... oh yes) , given NASA's recent track record, I can very easily see us learning "Hey, when you crash a rocket into a comet, the comet doesn't care the rocket doesn't work any more! Chalk another one up for NASA!" I would think landing a rocket on a comet would be more educational ... because then your probes and guages and doohickeys might still work.

Second, this is just great! Russia has finally joined the frivolous law suit band wagon! Woohoo! We're spreading that American way!
