    I like the way that rock is about 3/4s the size of the moon. If we didn't notice something that big after hundreds of years of telescopic astronomy, we deserve to be flattened.

    Sounds pretty similar to Auckland.

    I thought it was OK considering I wasn't much into adventure games when I got it.

    but the production values were great.

    IMHO Spielberg should've made that instead of that stupid Deep Impact movie.

    If I look out my window (not Microsoft windows), I can't see anything but trees, trees and trees..... and the sky!

  • At least we can see this one and possiblly stop if it is on a collision course with us. One just missed us by like 250,000(correct me if I'm wrong) miles a few weeks back and didn't see it coming because it came from our blind spot(direction of the sun).

    There is also the fact that they only have a budget big enough to monitor a small part of the sky for asteroids. Most are discovered in the course of doing something else or by amateurs.
