I signed up for the Deep Impact newsletter. I've been updated for a long time on that mission. I'm a big space fanatic, as well as a Star Wars one.

"We have an impact."

Deep Impact has officially crashed into Comet Tempel 1 this morning. NASA is extremely happy with the success of the Deep Impact mission.

Whenever death may surprise us, let it be welcome if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.

People in down in Honolulu got to see the entire thing on an IMAX-sized screen. Lucky them. An explosion in space. Who knows, for all we know, they could have been showing the sceen in A New Hope where the Death Star obliterates Alderaan but make the screen look fuzzy...
