Congratulations to my colleagues at NASA!

by |Published

Tonight, the Deep Impact NASA mission appears to have made history: the first probe, sent by our species, into the surface of a comet. This mission will shed new light on the early solar system as we break into this frozen snapshot. The first pictures are amazing – a white cloud of dust and particulates was kicked up by the impactor, and the NASA engineering and science teams went NUTS!

Congrats!!!! We all look forward not just to the images but also the science behind them!
