Three years later, while swinging around the sun, the mother ship will rendezvous with a second comet called Tempel 2 and follow it for a year. During that time, it will continually observe all the changes the comet undergoes...

One reason for this colossal failure is the division's miniscule funding, which amounts to less than 1 per cent of the total EPA budget--and is being cut even more...
