1,000 kilometers a year. How close does Tempel 1 get to Mars
again?
How much do you think outgassing alters the comet's velocity?

The delta v event is a ONE TIME event, at the moment of collision.
Ring_theory erroniously assumes a continuing delta V.
You show that even if there were a continuning delta V, the effect
would
be small.

The delta V was a one time event.

There will be a delta location that continues to grow, but that is
NOT a
delta V. And it will be very small.

For that matter the out gassing from coming near the sun has a
much greater influence than this impact ever will. One grain of
sand does not make a beach.

Ellis, temple1 doesn't approach the sun. Mars and jupiter play catch
with
it. But 1000 kilometers a year difference is going to put an end to
it.

Temple one isn't going to be a anomaly any more it's now back to
space
debris for it. condemned by NASA.

Ring. NASA has as much chance of breaking Temple1 up with the planned
experiment as I have with a slug gun!
The radiation (in our case) from the Sun causes cometary 'tails' and
jets of matter that, in them selves, can slightly change the orbit of
this sort of body.
Perhaps your Russian astrologer nutter should sue the Sun for having
such an effect upon all orbiting bodies....
