Scientific Research dontchaknow...
Blast something to smitherinnies and study the dust and debris
Carl Sagan wanted to do that in the 50's, with a NUKE, to see if anything 'organic' shows up
They hit that comet Temple 1 and got an unexpected second blast that was visible for days from Earth
And WE pay the bill for them to play Mad Bomber
Mighty big explosion for a comet made of ice eh?
Here are the scientists after the blast
Scientists said preliminary data showed that the impact provoked two successive flashes, which could mean the comet's
surface and depth are composed of two different matters.
"What you see is something really surprising. First, there is a small flash, then there is a delay, then there is a big flash and the
whole thing breaks loose. We may have been able to detect some structural response to the impact," mission co-investigator Pete Shultz, of
Brown University.
One image shows a "self-luminous" and "extremely bright incandescent ball," he said in a news
conference at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.

So what exactly did they hit? There was supposed to be no explosives on board the 'impactor'
So what they took out an Alien Spacecraft?
Fly-by Laser shootings of Venus, Bombing the Moon, scattering litter all over the solar systems including highly radioactive PLUTONIUM...
Someone needs to reign in these LUNATICS before they really do some damage..
