Windex ping.

We need a SDI type plan to protect us from the next one.

So we could be hit by a comet and only have a few years' warning — possibly not enough time to do anything about it."

Uses and Production of Ammonia (Haber Process)

Key Concepts

In 1909 Fritz Haber established the conditions under which nitrogen, N₂(g), and hydrogen, H₂(g), would combine using

• medium temperature (~500^oC)

• very high pressure (~250 atmospheres, ~351kPa)

• a catalyst (a porous iron catalyst prepared by reducing magnetite, Fe₃O₄).
  Osmium is a much better catalyst for the reaction but is very expensive.

Someone on this board recommended Lucuifer's Hammer as a good read on a post-comet-strike scenario. I read it and what really opened my eyes was not the usual collapse of civilization, but the concept of the comet fragmenting and hitting the earth like buckshot - spreading the misery world-wide.

I had followed the Shoemaker-Levy collisions with Jupiter but for some reason, never eequated that happening to earth - always thought of just ONE BIG ONE slamming in.

Lucifer's Hammer is pretty much how it'd go down.

I need new glasses. I first read that as Great Breasts..."

Thanks for the link. I must say when I first heard of snowball comets as the explanation for such a watery earth I was skeptical too, but I now find it an intriguing hypothesis.

After I presented my findings on the small comets in 1986, the scientific community did its best to extinguish my career. In the past decade, I have been unable to get any other projects off the ground. Before the small-comet findings became public, my success in this regard was envious; I was able to get instruments on board several major spacecraft -- Polar, Galileo and Geotail. But after my small-comet announcement, I got nothing. I had my ongoing projects, such as the one on Polar that eventually produced the confirmatory data. But the new projects I proposed went nowhere -- even those that had nothing to do with small comets.

Very similar to the way Big Science is enforcing Globull Warming orthodoxy today.
