Astrologer sues NASA for causing damage to comet

Posted on July 5, 2005 by Chris McQuillan

It would appear that humanity has fallen to new depths. A Russian astrologer named Marina Bai, is demanding $300,000,000 from NASA after it “damaged” Tempel 1, the comet with which the Deep Impact probe collided yesterday.

Apprently, her horoscope has been disturbed after the probe hit Tempel 1, directing the comet off course. The Russian astrologer claims NASA has violated her ‘spiritual rights’. Fair enough, but had Deep Impact not existed, would Marina Bai ever have even heard of Tempel 1?

According to Bai, she is no longer able to do her work properly and insists on 300 million dollars. Bai earlier attempted to stop the NASA-experiment, the court eventually allowed the case but it was already to late ‘to save’ Temple 1.

Thanks to Sci-Fi Universe for the heads up.

    As I said to Chris, the chances of her shaving $300 million of NASA’s shoe string budget — the same amount assigned to the entire mission — even if she wins the case (which is improbable to say the least) is about as likely as finding that Elvis and Hitler have been living next door for the past thirty years.

    She’s just out for the publicity and the fact that its 300 million US dollars makes it more of a case of her wanting publicity. This case will not go very far I think.

    One hopes that if a similar case came about here, it wouldn’t be given any court time at all.

    Each moment of a happy lover’s hour is worth an age of dull and common life.
