It is unlikely that an asteroid could hit the earth “again”. Typically, they hit the earth just once.

"Such an explosion today over more populated areas could lay waste an entire city."

Does that mean we can start calling liberals "asteroids" ?

So these guys want to play tag with an asteroid? So we can more accurately follow its path? I'm sure it all depends on how much grant monies they're able to squeeze out of various govt's and NGO's; otherwise they'll just have to make do with present technology. The horror.

blam, I know you've done quite a bit of reading/research on catastrophism; I've done a little myself. What puzzles me at this point in my "studies" is there seems to be some theories bandied about that at various times our solar system or our part of the galaxy only occasionally goes through periods of disruption. That is, we are not at the same risk level at all times. That something causes a tremor in the force from time to time. Thoughts?
