Marina Bai has sued the U.S. space agency, claiming the Deep Impact probe that punched a crater into the comet Tempel 1 late Sunday "ruins the natural balance of forces in the universe," the newspaper Izvestia reported Tuesday. A Moscow court has postponed hearings on the case until late July, the paper said.

This lady should get a clue: you're supposed to be blaming global warming or Republicans or something. Sheesh, get this lady a subscription to Time or Newsweek so she can keep up.
