Who cares if some scientists can shoot a moving bullet with a bb from a mile away, I think Tom Cruise is breaking up with Katie Holmes!

Just another crazy wanting money for nothing.

I dunno, my mojo doesn't feel quite right today. I'm thinking I need to jump in on that lawsuit.

This is really neat-o.
I've heard it described as hitting a bullet with another bullet, and having a third bullet take pics of the whole thing.
It's nice to know that there are tinfoil hat wearers in Russia, too.
Now then, what's this I hear about Tom Cruise and beard #3? Dish, baby.

This is pretty cool. It's also nice to know that they have a shot of hitting something like this if they NEED to.

I've heard a lot of people commenting on this aspect of the mission. We were able to land a space craft on an asteroid a couple of years ago so were two for two so far.
Proof

I wonder what we'd use to blow up a comet or asteroid???

If I remember right, this explosion was the equivilent to 8 tons of TNT. I figured we'd have to nuke something to make a real dent in it.
