Maybe our “leaders” know we’re about to be wiped out so that’s why they don’t give a damn. They’re just going to enjoy the perks while they can. And they don’t tell us because they don’t want everyone upset and doing something to them just for fun.

Geostationary orbit is 22,236 miles

A 60-foot rock probably does not have enough mass to have any gravitational effect on our satellites.

Too bad we can’t catch it and bring it into orbit for exploitation!

Above the orbit of our satellites, but I wonder how close they are with that measurement. They orbit at 22,500 miles IIRC. 2,500 miles seems like lots of room, but they don’t have to be wrong by much for us to say bye-bye GPS and TV.

In astronomic terms, 25,000 miles is incredibly close! However, an inch is as good as a mile they say.

60 feet across? If it were to hit the earth, it wouldn’t even be a big deal.

Tried several WCS.

Impact Earth!

I don't think a 60ft diameter would produce a crater, might make a nice strewn field though.
