"But sometimes you don't have a lot of time to make those observations. "

That's a problem.

Just give us BILLIONS and BILLIONS of dollars to enable us to provide this augury capability (while we simultaneously piss away BILLIONS and BILLIONS on Global Warming horsesh!t and “Make American believe Muslims contributed ANYTHING to this country.”

Think of Scout as a celestial intruder alert system

Boo Radley system destroys the incoming asteroid.

Interesting ELE post ;n)

Tonight’s incoming puny asteroid is the closest we should encounter for awhile, according to:
http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/ca/

Don’t know if NASA JPL know or would tell us when we meet the Wormwood asteroid...

Nice to know we spent billions so we’ll have enough extra time to kiss our a** goodbye.

"Caused by man made global warming no doubt."

I thought they'd blame it on the Russian's trying to influence the election.

Nothing coming closer than 1.3 times the distance to the moon any time soon. See the NASA/JPL NEO Close Approaches page.

Berserk is the first video game in history to have actually killed people in real life. A teen had a heart attack in 1981 after posting a top score and died at the controls. Then another kid died in similar fashion a year later. Same thing happens today but it’s mostly South Koreans keeling over at the keyboard after playing StarCraft and Diablo for 3 and 4 days nonstop.

The Berzerk game caused me plenty of sleepless nights. I’d play it and be so wired I’d hear “Intruder alert, intruder alert” all night.
