It took two clips and I have cut them together and the wmv file is on this link it is 1.891MB
Enjoy

Thanks for doing that Sticks!
(yeah, really, nice location to be interviewed [insert envy face]). If people saw the pre-impact interview where the women reporter was interviewing Don Yeomans, she, too, was asking him a bunch of questions about catastrophic scenarios, and he mentioned the meteorites I referred to in the Astro-Quiz thread--the energy that would be released, etc, but it seemed like he wanted to dispel the notion that they aren't trying to figure out how to blow them up, because we might need to.
I stay away from woo-woos, but isn't there this idea out there that the govt is hiding the truth about some comet out there?

It was an interesting program, if a little centered on the shoving comets out of the way over exactly what Deep impact would tell us but not bad all the same

Infinity, I think there's a bit of "give the public what they want"...the above reporter waited until the end, but she definitely pressed the issue. People like the "intrigue" aspect of it all. Wouldn't it be fair to say that the public, given the many polls, is bored by science unless they see it explode or do something wildly entertaining? The black and white pictures are not as exciting as the color pics..., but the people pay the bills. :wink:
