What you can do it look at it the night before, and on the night the comet is shattered to bits and hope to see the difference.

That is, provided the weather cooperates.

Cheers!

Mooey, do come down to Republic Polytechnic and tell us where to find it and teach our newbies

Please use the full name instead of "RP" as not everyone knows what it stands for. SP (Singapore Poly) has been an established term for decades now but to many of us, "RP" means Regimental Police! thanks

Haiz..Whenever I hear of such exciting events, 80% of the time I am already prepared to give it a miss. Heartache whenever I think of those enjoyment we could have when the sky screws up or when Singapore is just at the wrong spot at the wrong time...

Anyway, I think the only way to catch the destruction live would of course be to fly to countries outside of Singapore! Otherwise, we can only hope that NASA catches the live collision on video and put it in their website so that we can have a preview of what the heck is going on out there in space.

For those who are intending to book a plane and get out of Singapore to catch Tempel I being blasted to bits, I think most of us back here in Singapore would be dying to hear your personal experiences of the trip! :drool: So, do keep us updated on this exciting adventure of a lifetime!

All the best!

Cheers,

"RP" also happens to mean "Restricted Privileges"...

Very familiar for those who are still going through the dreaded BMT.
