Astrologist sues NASA for Deep Impact

[Eraser]

:lol:

"NASA is pitted against a Russian astrologist who sues the space agency because destroying a comet would irrevocably harm her “system of spiritual values”."

Remember Deep Impact — that global disaster movie from the 1990’s when the world’s finest astronauts embarked on a suicide mission to save mankind from a comet heading straight for Earth?

Now i could be wrong, because i was pretty young during the summer of asteroid movies . . . but doesn't the columnist mean Armageddon? There was no team of astronauts in deep impact that i recall.

edit: and what the fuck is with these pseudoscience mystic retards?

“Imagine leaving Moscow, then returning to find everything’s changed,” says Vladimir Portnov, a physicist and a professional astrologist. “Of course, everyday people will feel the implications of destroying a comet.”

According to Portnov, even something as “minor” as comets play a role in creating humanity’s psychic environment. By wantonly destroying a comet, NASA will inevitably disrupt that environment — with the most likely result being mass anxiety.

Yes there were, but they failed and the earth was hit anyway.

So, what would an astrologist say about destroying a comet to save humanity?

“I think it’s acceptable to try,” Vladimir Portnov says. Then he smiles: “But I think it’s impossible.”

You're wrong. Deep Impact was the one with Morgan Freeman and Frodo, and the comet just split apart and wiped out the north east coast of america.

didn't they fire some special nuke at the meteor in Deep Impact?

[Geebs]

Nah, they ended up kamikazeing it because they couldn't get their sums right.

BTW, I always thought that Deep Impact was a porn film

[saturn]

Apparently, Deep Throat is a classic.

DreamWorks are making a sequel to Deep Throat, in which a colourful cast of lovable animated animals have to disarm a nuke
