REEL life becomes real life......
We have been watching uncountable number of Hollywood Movies realting to the Collision of Earth with an interplanetary object coming from somewhere in the Universe....
I remember watching a Hindi Children movie named "Dhoomketu (meaning Comet)" around 9-10 years back regarding the same...and also vividly remember a story in our English textbook about the same theory....
Well i guess now it is time to see this before our eyes....and in real time also....
On July 4 ,2005.... When Uncle SAM celebrates its Independence Day....NASA's DEEP IMPACT mission will reach its most important phase of colliding with the Comet Tempel 1 to study the pristine interior of the comet by excavating a crater more than 25 m deep and 100 m in diameter....
I wish them BEST of Luck in this endeavour of theirs....
I wonder when can we see our lives on the tracks of that shown in the Cartoon Show named "Jetsons"..NASA's ultimate dream would be that only.... i know...
Returning back to the mission....the collision of the rocket with the comet would be shown live on TV in the US....and I guess some pictures might also be beamed to INDIA via the plethora of NEWS channels......
