Just curious, was the mission named after the movie Deep Impact? I haven't checked the history of the edits on this page, or the movie page, but I figured you guys might be able to tell me with less effort. Karmafist 4 July 2005 21:27 (UTC)
No, oh look, why not look at the actual mission website! http://deepimpact.umd.edu/mission/di-name.shtml
The probe definetly hit the comet, with a pretty massive plume to boot. By my watch it was at about 1:00am CDT. -- LouieS 4 July 2005 06:03 (UTC)
- Did the NASA make sure that the comet has no life whatsoever, including primitive single-cell organisms (genocide) - Did the NASA make sure no other civilization has installations on the comet or claim it as their own, e.g. comet is hollow and is the birth planet of little green men with 3 eyes (attack without declaration of war) - What happens if sheds from the explosion damage some places on the Earth or destroy some other spacecraft (insurance)
The world is really fed up with US aggression. Vietnam, Granada, Panama, Iraq and now Comet Tempel. This comet bombing is the wettest dreams of evil "Star Wars" Teller and Ronnie Raygun come true.
Well, comets are coated in a tar of fairly complex aminoacids. But um, no, theres no life on it; if there were life on this or any other comet in out solar system, I would start believeing in god because thats the only way it could happen. Hey, at least it's better than the antimatter fantasy. -

I've changed all the time in Ground UTC to Orbiter UTC. So the impact time should be 05:44:34 in SCET (One-Way Light Time = 7 minutes 26 seconds). -- Yaohua2000 3 July 2005 08:40 (UTC)
I think calling this a constroversy pays to much tribute to the lonely crackhead that came up with that idea. Similar for any suggestions that the orbit might change dramatically or that the comet would break up.
All right. I know consensus when I see it. I'll remove it. Dave (talk) July 5, 2005 12:43 (UTC)
Do someone know the exact mass of the Deep Impact flyby spacecraft? Because NASA says on some of its pages ( [1]) that it weights 650kg, and in its press kits ( Launch Press Kit and Encounter Press Kit, PDFs!) 601 kg. -- Bricktop 4 July 2005 17:59 (UTC)
I wonder why photos from the impact showed a bright luminous explosion. There was no detonation or explosion that could have caused this. Or is this another feed for conspiracy theory, igniting a nuclear bomb on Temple 1 in a desperate struggle to move that comet away from its unescapable impact track to earth? (See, that's why they gave Deep impact the same name as the movie Deep Impact, so only insiders know what really is going on. -- Abdull 5 July 2005 22:35 (UTC)

The goal "Are cometary nuclei highly cohesive and tightly-packed, or porous conglomerates?" has been proven; should someone add something in there? I would recomment a strikethrough, and a link to this article.

The article states:
Impact occurred at 05:45 UTC (05:52 UTC ERT, +/- up to three minutes, one-way light time = 7m 26s) on the morning of July 4, 2005, within one second of the expected time for impact.
I find this pretty confusing. It seems to imply that there is 3 minutes uncertainty in the impact time; but then it implies the impact time is known within one second. That seems to be a contradiction.
Could someone please update the article to clarify the inconsistency? (PS: I'm not asking for clarification for my own benefit here in the talk page: I'm asking for an update to the article so all future readers beneift). Thanks!
