“A Russian court has ruled that an astrologer can sue NASA over plans to bombard a comet whose destruction would ‘disrupt the natural balance of the universe’.” Reversing a lower court, the panel ruled that it was appropriate for Russia to take jurisdiction over Marina Bai’s lawsuit, which demands $310 million. According to her lawyer, Alexandra Molokhova, Ms. Bai “believes that the project infringes upon her spiritual and life values, as well as the natural life of the cosmos”.
