“NASA deformed my Horoscope” says Russian woman - sues for $300 Million
NASA’s mission that sent a space probe smashing into a comet raised more
than cosmic dust - it also brought a lawsuit from a Russian astrologer.
Marina Bai has sued the U.S. space agency, claiming the Deep Impact probe
that punched a crater into the comet Tempel 1 late Sunday “ruins the
natural balance of forces in the universe,” the newspaper Izvestia reported
Tuesday. A Moscow court has postponed hearings on the case until late July,
the paper said.The probe’s comet crash sent up a cloud of debris that
scientists hope to examine to learn how the solar system was formed.
Bai is seeking damages totaling 8.7 billion rubles ($300 million) - the
approximate equivalent of the mission’s cost - for her “moral sufferings,”
Izvestia said, citing her lawyer Alexander Molokhov. She earlier told the
paper that the experiment would “deform her horoscope.”

Who says Astrology gets no real press?
If you ask me, this space probe will have just under zero effect on your Horoscope,
but cheers to Marina Bai for her making a splash.
