Default "Deep Impact" mission; designed to deceive?

If this guy is right, it sounds alot like how they conduct global
warming science.

The July 4 "comet shot" is expected to yield data dating back 4.5
billion years, when most scientists believe the solar system was
formed out of an interstellar cloud of gas and dust. Since the frozen
interiors of comets are thought to possess information from that time,
it is believed we can learn more about the original cloud of gas and
dust by sending a projectile into the core of a passing comet.

Not so, says Dr. Oliver Manuel, professor of nuclear chemistry at UMR.

“Comets travel in and out of the solar system, toward the sun and away
from the sun, losing and gaining material,” Manuel explains. “But the
building blocks that made the outer parts of the solar system are
different from the building blocks that made the inner solar system.”

For the record, Manuel believes the sun was born in a catastrophic
supernova explosion and not in a slowly evolving cloud of space stuff.
According to Manuel’s model, heavy elements from the interior of the
supernova created the rocky planets and the sun; and the lighter
elements near the surface of the supernova created the outer, gaseous
planets.

Therefore, Manuel says, data from Deep Impact won't be useful.

“The comet data will show a mixture of material from the inner and
outer layers of the supernova, but it won't tell us anything about the
beginnings of the solar system,” Manuel says. “NASA still says the
solar system was born in an interstellar cloud and that the sun is a
ball of hydrogen with a well-behaved hydrogen fusion reactor in the
middle of it. But it’s not, and that will color the data from Deep
Impact. It will appear to confirm a flawed theory about the birth of
the solar system.”

Manuel says the sun is the remains of a supernova, and that it has a
neutron star at its core. According to a paper he presented last week
at a nuclear research facility in Dubna, Russia, neutron emissions
represent the greatest power source ever known, triggering hydrogen
fusion in the sun, generating an enormous magnetic field, explaining
phenomena like solar flares and causing climate change on earth.

Findings published by other researchers last year in Science magazine
(May 21, 2004) suggested that, in fact, a nearby supernova probably
did contribute material (Iron-60) to an ambiguous cloud that formed
the solar system. What Manuel reported 27 years earlier in Science
(Jan. 14, 1977) is that the supernova blast created the entire solar
system and all of its iron.

“So Deep Impact is NASA’s big cosmic fireworks show for the Fourth of
July, but they’re going to end up using smoke and mirrors to help
validate this theory about a big cloud of dust that supposedly made
the solar system,” Manuel says.
