Farewell Galileo
chris greville
""The US space agency probe was sent hurtling into the gas-giant at nearly
50 kilometres per second (108,000 mph) to avoid any chance of it
contaminating local moons.
The impact was timed to occur at 1857 GMT, although because of the vast
distances involved it was a little under an hour later before the break in
the probe's final signal was heard on Earth.""

As a C2C listener, I was waiting for Jupiter to turn into a
second "sun", too. Didn't happen. Whew! I was surprised, lisytening to
thatshow, that nobody mentioned that is the exact plot of Arthur C.
Clarke's "2010", book and movie.
HEY, ART BELL'S BACK! Wa-HOO!!

Was he beaten to death by an angry husband for using his snazzy new telescope
to peep through a window at the guy's wife? ;-)

Are you two quoting "Space Ghost Coast to Coast"?

Why was he gone. Last I heard, listening to his show, he was concerned
about. . . ., well, some weird stuff-people out to get him, fear for his
family. I thought he had gone 'round the bend.
Charles, well, more than usual

He was just concerned that Ross Perot was planning to disrupt his
daughter's wedding.

2010 had aliens compressing the hydrogen using millions of high-tech
monoliths.

I considered it an interesting, but lo-probability speculation for
that comet a decade back. But Gal was a lot smaller than millions of
rocks that fall on any planet every year.
