Tonight channel 60 (KCSM-TV) will have a Planetary-Society program
regarding Halley's comet. In the promo for this program, they said
the flotilla of spacecraft visiting Halley's comet will be mankind's
first close encounter with a comet. Have they forgotten ICE's passthru
of Giacobini-Zinner a few months ago? Whom are they trying to kid?
Are they telling the "big lie" because most people won't know it's a lie
and the "big lie" will draw in more viewers than the truth would?
