you answered none of my questions and the fact this site is still open is a miracal of the devil
There were 2 astronauts on each Project Gemini mission.
A couple of things made this mission a particularly interesting one.The first time a man made object landed on (albeit slammed into) a comet.The first time we could actually have a look inside a comets nucleus, instead of just flyby's.Many experts had different opinions about what would really happen once the impact took place.These are a few points of the top of my mind that I can think of that made the Deep Impact mission such an interesting one.
Deep Impact - film - was created in 1997.

Deep Impact
At 5:52 UTC on 4 July 2005, the impactor of the Deep Impact probe successfully impacted the comet's nucleus, excavating debris from the interior of the nucleus. Photographs of the impact showed the comet to be more dusty and less icy than expected. The impact generated a large, bright dust cloud that obscured the hoped-for view of the impact crater. Scientists are still analyzing the observations
Deep Impact grossed $140,464,664 in the domestic market.
