guess who is also going all in Asteroid Response?
Russia.
Not a mention of that in this thread.
The Russians will probably far outspend the USA also.
The USA is in a bad spot where Congress seems to think there is some virtue in reducing NASA's budget.
The Russians intend to own this program which should create a lot of jobs.
How do they know meteorite velocity was 30k mph?
How do they know meteorite was pee size?
Is the kid holding the meteor in his hand in that picture?
Why wasn't the meteorite pulverized when it hit the road?
Why doesn't article have picture of the hole in the road?
Anyway, 30k mph is 44k feet/sec.
Lets say distance from hand to road was 4 ft (to make math easy)
so dt between hitting hand and impact road is 9.09..e-5 seconds.
And this kid could perceive that time difference?
fishy story.
iirc Amero was given instructions on using the computer from another teacher who also told her not to turn the computer off "under any circumstances". This is what I recall reading 18 month ago. I believe somebody tried to play a joke on her, but I have not heard that it entered into the investigation.

but it is Comcast, and their employees, and they are scum. they do not care what you think about anything.
it is a waste of good equipment since MH370 was probably landed at Diego Garcia
