“We Can See Inside It” What is there to see inside it? Much ado about nothing.

It is between 1600 and 4000 feet across

If they can't even figure out how big it is, how do they know it won't hit us?

You have to keep in mind that all these objects come from an advanced civilization.

They are observation and other crafts. They know we’ll use our primitive technologies to try and detect them.

They figured that out long ago. Just attune the parabolic hyperspace emitters to produce a short tachyon burst.

All spacecraft will appear as rocks.

I for one, bow to our future alien overlords.

You know what happens when you lasso a huge rock above your head while gravity actively kicks in?

2.6 million miles. Ooooooh so close. I wonder if 2 million miles would be almost a direct hit.

It's closest approach is 10ld.

Sensationalism. 10ld is not close.

There is a 30m object coming within 0.15ld in October (2012 TC4) That is close.

“NASA has calculated it will remain 2.6 million miles away”

“path that carries it within about 4,650,000 miles of Earth. “

Am I the only one that sees some inconsistency here? What’s 2 million miles difference between friends?

Land a couple of ion engines then use the engines to:

1) slow it down
2) alter the course
3) spin till it destructs
