MOSCOW -- 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.
(ME--Ms Bai is seeking damages totaling $300 million for "pain and suffering". The rest of the story here, http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/showcase/sns-ap-russia-comet-case,1,3489942.story?coll=chi-entertainment-front
--although since it's the Trib, registration is required...although I daresay the story is floating around elsewhere...assuming NASA hasn't whacked it with a probe.)
