"The post was to Freeper Poincare."

Sorry! I was so excited and relieved at this latest news that I responded to post #2 instead of post #1.

However, this has done nothing to relieve my ongoing anxiety over Apophis...and the governments capabilities to have any calculations correct, or, whether they would let us know the truth if the news for either 2029 or 2036 is bad.

The problem with the orbit of Apophis has nothing to do with butterflies and everything to due with garden variety second order uncertainties. Apophis will not hit earth in 2029. By 2029 we will know whether or not it will hit earth in 2036. The information will be so widely available that no government could hope to hide the fact.

Hmmm!

1. The orbit of Apophis will certainly have a lot to do with butterflies...if only in the stomach;
2. The issue of "butterflies" in your post played no role whatsoever in any of my replies;
3. 30-40 years ago I would have been in a position to to run the calculations myself, but today I have to depend on graduates of government schools for them....therefore, I do not trust them; and,
4. I screwed up by not including a "/sarc" on my earlier replies.
