Gaius Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 The on line story below is different from the hard newspaper copy, the hard copy noted NASA is providing for the public to keep track of the asteroid including live streaming today and tomorrow at www.nasa.gov/ntv. Also Slooh Space Camera offers free online viewing of celestial events at www.slooh.com will track the asteroid Friday starting at 1:30pm. http://www.presstelegram.com/news/ci_23339111/large-asteroid-pass-within-3-6-million-miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel Pan Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I often wonder, IF one were to be on track to strike the Earth,would "THEY" ever tell us? As far as capturing an asteroid, I can see the possibility for mineral resources,but the cost would be astronomical.

homefire Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Guess the Tin foil hat ain't Going to work if this one hits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaius Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 If they thought one of these things was going to strike the plant I sure hope they don't tell us. I can't begin to visualize the civil disorder and the international conflicts that would result. That would be as bad as announcing we have been in contact with aliens and they are going to pay us a visit. Brown stuff would hit the fan.

Goldfinger Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I often wonder, IF one were to be on track to strike the Earth,would "THEY" ever tell us? Plenty of amateurs tracking these too so "they" wouldn't have to tell us. Kind of wish one would hit..... but not here. The meteorite hunters are getting restless....
