Hi all,
Considering some of the posts that our esteemed sitemaster puts here, I think this is the best place for this one. This must set a new standard for the title of "The Craziest Reason to Sue". It is all over the NASA "Deep Impact" mission to comet Temple 1, part of which includes a collision with the comet to blast out a crater so that the interior of the comet can be studied.
In a lawsuit she filed last month with the Presnensky district court in Moscow, Bai is demanding that NASA call off its $311 million operation, with the spacecraft already in its cruise phase. She also wants 8.7 billion rubles (the ruble equivalent of the entire cost of the mission) in compensation for moral damages.
“The actions of NASA infringe upon my system of spiritual and life values, in particular on the values of every element of creation, upon the unacceptability of barbarically interfering with the natural life of the universe, and the violation of the natural balance of the Universe,” Bai said in her claim.

Herb, I think we could use a "banging your head against a brick wall" emicon!
