	Deep Impact (space mission) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Deep Impact is a NASA space probe designed to study the composition of the interior of the comet Tempel 1.
		At 5:52 UTC on July 4, 2005, one section of the Deep Impact probe successfully impacted the comet's nucleus, excavating debris from the interior of the nucleus.
		The Deep Impact mission coincided with celebrations in the Los Angeles area marking the 50th anniversary of "Rock Around the Clock" by Bill Haley and His Comets becoming the first rock and roll single to reach No. 1 on the recording sales charts.

	Deep Impact (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Deep Impact is a 1998 disaster film/science fiction film released by Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks Pictures.
		A competing "space impact" film, Armageddon, was released at approximately the same time as Deep Impact.
		Deep Impact is generally considered to be more realistic than Armageddon, and had a stronger emphasis on the effect on society.

	Deep Impact (1998) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Deep Impact is most often compared to its death-comet partner from the summer of '98, Armageddon.
		Deep Impact is a drama; Armageddon is an action film, and delivers just what we would expect from an action film, namely, over-the-top characters, a simplistic storyline, and an abundance of special effects.
		Deep Impact presents just the opposite: Characters that are notably human, several dovetailed story lines, and it saves the special effects (which are very good) for the movie's climax.

		Deep Impact will implement its mission with a flyby spacecraft, including a High Resolution Instrument and Medium Resolution Instrument, and a smart impactor, which will carry the Impactor Targeting Sensor.

	New Scientist Breaking News - Deep Impact launch is a qualified success
		Deep Impact took off on a Delta 2 rocket at 1347 EST from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida, US, and will take six months to travel the 431 million kilometres to its rendezvous.
		Deep Impact mission scientists hope to find out whether comets will eventually become extinct - using up all their ice - or simply dormant.
		If Deep Impact's crash exposes new ice from under a crust, the gas generated should be immediately visible in the comet's tail, showing that some comets may indeed become dormant.

	Deep Impact Movie Review by Anthony Leong
		"Deep Impact", the latest tentpole production from Dreamworks SKG (following up their previous efforts "The Peacemaker" and "Mousehunt"), spent a lot of time in the eighties and early Nineties in development hell, as producing team Richard Zanuck and David Brown shopped it around the various studios.
		The question that "Deep Impact" ponders on is 'what would you do if you knew the world was going to end in one year?', which is not unlike the question posed in "Titanic" and the grim nuclear holocaust tearjerker "On the Beach".
		The emotional resonance is diluted in "Deep Impact" because we are only given quick glimpses of each character at various times, and so when the 'great moment of self-sacrifice and epiphany' comes, the impact is not as resounding, and you are left with what amounts to contrived pathos.

	Discovery Missions: Deep Impact
		This will be the first experiment to probe deep beneath the surface of a comet and will permit a variety of instruments, both onboard the spacecraft and at ground-based and space-based observatories, to study the resulting debris and interior material.
		Deep Impact adds important new data to that of other missions which study the surface layers and coma of comets and asteroids.
		The Deep Impact mission is managed for NASA by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA.

	Justice Policy Institute: Deep Impact (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Recent studies on the fiscal impact of womens imprisonment underscore the reality that exists across the rest of the nation, and the South: While the economic impact of her crime is typically small, the economic impact of the prison term typically meted out to a woman is huge.
		The lifetime welfare ban has a disproportionate impact on African American and Latino women and families: In Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia and Virginia (states where the majority of women in the general population are White), the majority or nearly half of women who were impacted by the ban were African American or Latina.
		Due, in part, to the projected impact on women and their families, 31 states and the District of Columbia have eliminated or modified the lifetime ban, and the fact that states continue to modify or opt out of the ban reflects mounting recognition that a complete lifetime welfare ban is unsound public policy.

		The impactor's impact with comet Tempel 1 is expected to form a football-field-sized crater, seven stories deep.
		This is the first attempt to peer beneath the surface of a comet revealing freshly exposed material for clues to the early formation of the solar system.
		Deep Impact mission scientists are confident that an intimate glimpse beneath the surface of a comet, where material and debris from the formation of the solar system remain relatively unchanged, will answer basic questions about the formation of the solar system and offer a better look at the nature and composition of these celestial travelers.

		That is precisely what Deep Impact will do, by sending an impactor crashing into comet Tempel 1 at a speed of 10 kilometers (6 miles) per second - about ten times the speed of a rifle bullet.
		According to mission co-investigator Jay Melosh, the images of Tempel 1 returned by Deep Impact may be as much as 10 times clearer and more detailed than those taken by Stardust during its flyby of comet Wild 2.
		Deep Impact is now on its way to a spectacular rendezvous with comet Tempel 1 on the 4th of July.
