Russian Astrologer Sues NASA Over Comet

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.

Astrology is to science just the same as superstition is to the knowledge of causes.
Astrologers' so-called analyses do not have the slightest foundations. No use being a top scientist to get that, yet their audience has never stopped growing... Their believers will swallow up their crap, which is always presented as rigorously demonstrable and unquestionable...:rolleyes: but no relations are ever clearly established between their misty theories and facts.

So, a speck's speck of dust in the Milky Way would change anything in the universe?:D Maybe it could change Marina's world, not by disrupting her precious beliefs, but by bringing her more advertising than she could ever have dreamt of!
If there is a trial, I just hope the defenders will plead the mere futility of astrology.:)
