302,885 miles. So a really long way away. Not close at all.

Lucifer/Hamner. I think that was the real name in the book. But, every body in the book started calling the hammer.

Long time since I read it.

Fortunately, the asteroid will miss the Earth, but it will still make an uncomfortably close approach of 302,885 miles. To put this in perspective, the average distance from the Earth to the moon is 238,900 miles..........

Does that mean, if we are told where it will be then, it should be visible from earth?

Is that the extremely bright “star” I saw in the morning eastern sky two days ago? Freaky bright.

Sounds like the Moon is going to be scary close that night. Boo!

I’m a huge Niven-Pournelle fan.

I am a patron subscriber to Jerry’s site. He’s a very, very interesting man.

That’s well outside the orbit of our own Moon. Not exactly a close call. Now if an asteroid were to park itself in the Lagrange Point between Earth and the Moon, that would be kind of interesting.

Nah....
The MSM and LIBs are setting us up for an update of “War of the Worlds” starring HRC and JFK (the Vietnam JFK).

Lurch can read it and ‘Her Shrillness’ can do enough screaming for all of us.

” What difference at this point does it make?”

I am standing by for some mighty rams but IMNSHO she shouldn’t have said it BUT I will give her the benefit of it being taken out of context - ‘we’ pulled a Lib move and took ‘15 words out of 200’(sic) and ran with it.

AND I am definitely NOT an HRC ‘fan’.
