TOUTATIS ONE OF THE STRANGEST OBJECTS IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM
Two NASA-sponsored scientists studying the Earth-crossing asteroid 4179 Toutatis with radio telescopes have found it to be one of the strangest objects in the solar system, with a highly irregular shape and an extraordinarily complex "tumbling" rotation.
Both its shape and rotation are thought to be the outcome of a history of violent collisions. A detailed description of the asteroid and its observed rotation is reported in this week's issue of the journal "Science," by Drs. Scott Hudson of Washington State University and Steven Ostro of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Pasadena, CA.

 Let's start the contest now! Which city shall we put on it? Fallujah? Beijing? San Francisco?
Send your sntries to:
Send the City Into Space
P.O. Box *@*$&*#
Palomar, CA Void where prohibited. No actual city will be sent into space. Which is too damned bad. |

No...you'll end up being greeted with bugs and roaches the size of small cities instead of asteriods ;-)

Sounds good, but we'd only be able to enjoy it for a few minutes.
