The Russian anti-meteor rocket works.

If a space rock explodes over the ocean and there is no one there to see it....

I recall a few years ago somebody discovered a new “near Earth” asteroid that was fairly large. They discovered it AFTER it had passed by near the earth.

Unless someone posts it on you tube....I won’t believe it.

It’s the ones that don’t explode on entry that need watched closely.

A 100 ft wide asteroid could do tremendous damage if it hit over a populated area. The 2013 Russian meteor was considerably smaller and exploded high in the atmosphere and still caused a lot of damage and injuries.

makes me think of pop-rocks in space :)

[roadcat]

Did it change direction several times before exploding? Maybe it was aliens. Or the Russians. The “space rock” could have been a cover story. Maybe...

Buenos Aires was 800 miles away from suffering the real world fate it got hit with in “Starship Troopers”. this is pretty damn terrifying. Reaction of the world? YAWN. Hiroshima from the sky...WHATEVER!

How come that brits always put the ‘asa’ in lower case when they write about NASA? Just wonderin’.

[Hot Tabasco]

Believed, unlikely and probably........OK

Here is an an article I thought you might like on "Multiple cosmic impacts 790,000 years ago". Let's be thankful it's in the past.

Brits are anti-acronymites.

LOL! When I transferred to KSC to work the shuttle launches, they gave us an inch thick book of acronyms. And a lot of them had more than one meaning, so context mattered.

[tumblindice]

I read somewhere it killed a couple Siberians. Siberia is a big place with not much population.

[TigersEye]

You have my sympathy about those acronyms. I was pretty good with them until I signed up to FR. After about the second year my brain was full and wouldn’t process any more.

You have my envy for working on the shuttle program.
