Could be this is a clandestine operation to see if we can blow one up, just incase there are ones headed to Earth in the near future?

The nearest to life on the comet, much less any comet would be amino acids. No where near being intelligent life.
Also, I'm a bit confused, are you worried that the comet or pieces of it will pose a threat to Earth? Because that, truely, is an irrational fear. The comet is several miles in size and has an immense mass. The probe, in comparison, is a speck. A great analogy to descibe the two would be like a fly trying to derail a train. It just won't happen. Get my drift?

I think you'd find a comet a little less hospitable then you've suggested here. Deep Impact has actually been a pretty valuable mission as NASA has learned about the difficulties in intercepting a moving object in the vastness of space.
If there are ET's watching us then maybe seeing how much more advanced we are becoming will prompt contact, especially if they are as benevolent as Mignacco is suggesting.

Project Deep Impact deliberately goes out into space just to smash a comet into pieces, that has no chance of ever becoming a meteor, mainly because it seems to be in search of justifying a reason for doing so.
do any other members have any feedback or suggestions or ideas on this volatile issue ?? :puz
Originally posted by CollinThe Jerry Pippin Radio Show interviews Blair Mignacco at the March 2005 International UFO Conference, who for the sake of discussion here let's say thinks a bit differently than the trigger-happy US space cowboys.
Blair speculates that there may be intelligent life on or in, Comet Tempel
... if the full destructive intent of this misguided mission is allowed to be realized.
... also might recognize any intrinsic value in real estate like Comet Tempel 1, and may therefore be inclined to intend for this piece of space to remain intact, and so take necessary steps to keep it from being damaged...
Potential ET assistance might depend to a degree upon being asked for help, collectively via human conscious awareness of some potential problems with, as Blair describes US space policy: a "shoot first and ask questions later policy (toward space) in our home, which is the solar system."
think that maybe the only thing one can do here, is to pray..
well, no, imo clandestine operations would actually be for instance reverse-engineered and/or dark alien supported technologies. No, such a project like Deep Impact would be--like NASA itself--part of a front for less publicly known black ops
Here, maybe not. I'd certainly never think twice about posting something like this in a NASA forum, but that's okay, maybe just for a laugh...
What i believe Blair is suggesting is that there is an electrical circuitry in the solar system that can be thrown off by even slighting altering the course or the characteristics of any Earth-orbiting mass.
Again, there are easier (to some) more direct conscious ways of contacting the benevolent ETs than to play with planetary bodies' alignments and the solar system's electrical circuitry.

This has to be the funniest alarmist thread about the Deep Impact probe I have yet to read to date First time I've seen little green men brought into the picture though

It was necessary to move a thread you created titled, Project Deep Impact targets the solar system's electrical circuitry which was originally posted in the Aliens & UFOs forum, to the Space Exploration forum. Amorymeltzer has initiated this action, and included this message about it:
The Alien aspect of the thread is too small IMO, and this is really a thread about Deep Impact, hence Space Exploration.
Just a heads up, though, this has been posted before, you might get some negative response.
Your thread is still available here,

This U2U was automatically generated when your thread was moved, please contact Amorymeltzer (by replying to this U2U) for additional information if you have any questions about why your thread was moved.

Actually, I haven't moved this thread at all. You posted it here in Space Exploration, and here in Space Exploration it'll stay. Now step away from the keyboard, take a deep breath, count to ten, and come back down to Earth with the rest of us.
