Lol, 9.6 million radio waves

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.

The stupidity! It burns!!!

[21twelve]

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.

And they’re gonna do it every second!

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Let’s think about this. At 9.6 megahertz, how long will it take for 9.6 million radio waves to hit the asteroid?

[ModelBreaker]

Perhaps to be safe, they should test with 1 or 2 radio waves to start out with.

[Magnum44]

How much does 9.6 million radio waves weigh?

[ifinnegan]

Yes. Who writes these headlines.

[GingisK]

At 2.4 GHz, that won’t take long.
