By the time scientists finish poring over the data, "I am convinced Comet Hartley will have increased our knowledge of how comets work by at least ... a factor of 10," the mission's chief scientist, Michael A'Hearn of the University of Maryland (http://www.aolnews.com/tag/maryland/), said at a post-flyby briefing.

Great story. It really is just like a SciFi story from the 60s. Good to see NASA still has the right stuff. (BTW, Lose the AstroBot)
