| A Russian court has ruled that an astrologer can sue NASA over plans to bombard a comet whose destruction would "disrupt the natural balance of the universe". Reversing a lower court, the panel ruled that it was appropriate for Russia to take jurisdiction over Marina Bai's lawsuit, which demands $310 million. According to her lawyer, Alexandra Molokhova, Ms. Bai "believes that the project infringes upon her spiritual and life values, as well as the natural life of the cosmos". How do you say "tough shitsky" in Russian? |

| #4 More: Marina Bai says NASAâs Deep Impact space probe, which is due to hit the Tempel 1 comet on July 4, is a âterrorist actâ. She claims it is also a personal assault on her grandparents as the comet heralded the beginning of their relationship. One court has already thrown out her case on the grounds that Nasa has immunity from prosecution in Russia. Baiâs lawyer has taken the case to a higher court which is debating if Nasa is in fact represented in Russia through the US embassy in Moscow. |
