Lady sues NASA for 300 Million

Judges in the tiny courtroom normally deal with matters much more mundane than space exploration.

But Judge Litvinenko opened hearings into a case which could see Nasa pay a local amateur astrologist millions of dollars in damages.

Writer Marina Bay claims that by slamming the probe into the comet, Nasa endangered the future of civilisation.

"Nobody has yet proven that this experiment was safe," says Ms Bay's lawyer Alexander Molokhov.

"This impact could have altered the orbit of the comet, so now there is a chance that the Tempel may well destroy the Earth some day!"

This claim was brushed aside by Nasa mission engineer Shadan Ardalan.

"The analogy is a mosquito hitting the front of an airliner in flight. The effect is negligible," Mr Ardalan told BBC News.

However, even if the comet stays at a safe distance from Earth, Ms Bay's own life, she thinks, will never be the same again.

An amateur astrologist, she believes that any variation in the orbit or the composition of the Tempel comet will certainly affect her own fate.

So Ms Marina's claims to be experiencing "a moral trauma" - which only a payment of $300m (252m euros; £170m) can put right.

This is roughly what Nasa has spent on the experiment so far

I hate people like this..

They better not give it to her. I don't know about the rest of you, but part of that 300 mil is mine.

As BADDOG so succinctly put it, it's utterly rediculous.

[atholon]

LOl you bet it is, I can't believe that is even being considered.

[Lakie]

I severly doubt that they will return in favour of her, i hope they dont, would be a step backwards. It would also open up the way for anyone else to sue NASA in the same jurisdiction, it wouldnt stop at 300 million then....

[Jeff]

Exactly, every astrology nut on earth would want a chunk of it.

[General Nuisance]

oh please someone tie this bat up... she need to be shoot...

can we get her in novaworld?
