Lol, 9.6 million radio waves

[lee martell]

It would be ‘funny’ if those 9.6 million radio waves got shot right back at us here on earth.
There’d be a lot of finger pointing, if anybody still had fingers.

“more than 9.6 million radio waves”

Strange headline — looks like it was written by someone who may not actually understand the technology or the process.

9.6 million radio waves

And that's just the first second ...

Just when you think your average journalist can’t be any more stupid.

This happens.

It’s particularly annoying that a writer at a thing called “interesting engineering” doesn’t know what Hz is.

Angels dont play THIS HAARP.

I think it would be more effective if we used 9.6 million transmitters and hit it with one wave from each.

To be serious though, I did not realize that we had this sort of technology. To not only detect an asteroid from earth, but to attempt to penetrate the surface of an asteroid with radar. Amazing.

An Asteroid Analyzing System.

I know about HAARP because of this guy :

To be followed shortly after by a 9.6 million radio wave march.

Me, too.
