DEEP MISGIVINGS: LAW SUIT IN RUSSIAN COURT SEEKS TO BLOCK IMPACT.

You've got to understand how important comets are in history.

They foretell all sorts of important events.
Nero massacred the Roman nobility after Halley's comet went by, in case it meant there would be a coup. It might cause global disasters if these astronomers mess
around with a comet trajectory. Scientists compared the impact to a mosquito striking a 747. But a Russian spiritualist is suing NASA in Moscow courts to block this "barbaric interference with the natural
balance of the universe." Her lawyer said that under Russian law she
can recover the cost of any damage that results.
