Celestial Fireworks

NASA and the ESA's mission Deep Impact had a fairly impressive explosion today. Their 802-pound impact module hit at something like 6 miles/second, causing an explosion equivalent to 4.8 tons of TNT.

Man, I love science.

I really went into the wrong field. Between Stardust, the Mars rovers, Cassini, and now Deep Impact, there's some really cool shit going on. None of these robots are giant nor fighting, but they do OK.
