Someone call Bruce Willis!
This man (1) was part of a team that developed something (say, X) that made (2) possible. Identify 1 and 2 and name X.
(Don’t bother being too specific. It’s enough if you can give me the “overall” contribution of (1)’s team to (2))
Cracked by:shyam , Shakeel , duriel , yaksha , udupendra and sidsen.
Answer: 1) Vint Cerf (while talking a Bangalore, BTW)
2) An artist’s rendering of The Deep Impact mission
Vint Cerf at team were part of the working group that developed the network protocols that help the Deep Impact probe to communicate with it’s base station, and the station to communicate with earth. More generically, they’re working on the so called Interplanetary Internet, a set of protocols to help communication over the vastness of space.

1) Vinton G Cerf–Father of Internet
2) Deep Impact Mission Of NASA
Cerf as part of InterPlanetary Internet Special Interest Group developed CFDP which is CCSDS File Delivery Protocol,used on the comet mission Deep Impact.

1. Vinton Cerf. The internet guy.
2. Artist’s concept of “Deep Impact” space program. It involved collision of a space probe with a comet. poor poor comet :(
X: Interplanetary Internet. (Vint Cerf is associated with interplanetary internet)
The interplanetary internet concept was used for communication in the Deep Impact Project.
Specifically, CFDP (CCSDS File Delivery Protocol) was used for reliable message transfer between ground station and space probe.
Deep Impact is supposed to answer “basic questions about the how the solar system formed”. lol…
The “Bruce willis” clue: Armageddon(movie), which leads to Deep Impact(movie), leads to Deep impact ( space program).

Internet pioneer Vincent Cerf is working with NASA to develop ways to extend Internet networking into deep space
Cerf reportedly is a strong believer in space colonization and thinks it’s only a matter of time before humans are living on other worlds — and want to send e-mail. [/rip]

2 is an artists impression of Deep Impact, the NASA space mission.
1 is probably Gerhard Schwem, who helped develop the Rosetta space mission, which took photographs of Deep Impact.
1 might also be someone who had something to do with MRI imaging, or CCD devices for imaging. Couldn’t figure it out for sure.
