Deep Impact: The First Look Inside a Comet!
What are comets made of? Are they solid rocks, or fluffy snowballs? On July 4, 2005, the Deep Impact mission will find out in a dramatic way. One part of the Deep Impact spacecraft will slam into comet Tempel 1, ending its life with a smash, while the Flyby spacecraft will watch the birth of a new crater. By studying the size and shape of the new crater, and the composition and motion of the stuff that flies away from the impact, the Deep Impact scientists hope to learn how comets are put together.

Reducing engine generated emmissions.. through sheep urine? By refining the sheep urine to pure urea and then combining the urea with the engine emmissions -> Ammonia from the urea reacts with nitrous oxides in the exhaust fumes and converts them to nitrogen gas and water, which is released as steam. Perfect.
