would have been the event of the decade in science. Would have inspired all sorts of young people to get into astronomy and/or physics...sigh...
I once dated Miss Mars. A little to mecurial for my taste..
Sucks.
Everyone wanted this.
Except the damn asteroid I guess!
Damn.
Dang. There should be an X prize for whoever is able to steer an asteroid into the moon, so that we can see it on Earth. Now that’s astronomy!
Even God has a tough time landing stuff on Mars...
The prayers of the Martians have averted a terrible disaster. An inspiration to all of us in uncertain times.
Darn, thought that would get Martians to leave and come to our planet. Believe me, little green men could lead Al Gore to a third party victory.
Mars is safe. Earth however is toast. ;O)
Anybody know how close Mar’s moons orbit? Those distances would be well within the orbit of our moon.
There may be a possibility of that the asteroid will strike one of Mar’s moons.
