(i)
Project Light Brigade was the code name for the operation that the
scientists were carrying out to stop the collision of the comet with
the earth. The project involved placing nuclear payload in a
spaceship, sending it to intercept the approaching comet, and
detonating it by remote control. December 15 was the date when if the
experiment failed, the comet would collide with the earth. However,
if it did not, then the comet would pass by at a near but safe
distance.

In his letter to Duttada in October, Sir John said that the charge of
the Light Brigade had begun and that they hoped for the best. It
meant that the spaceship with the payload had been launched on time.
