T-48 minutes until the probe "Deep Impact" is launched. If anyones interested, you can watch the launch live here:

It'll probably happen around 1:15pm eastern.

Deep Impact will smash a hole in an comet by plowing a rod into it to create a crater and another probe will fly by and take pictures and readings.

Edit: launch is 1:47 eastern.
