would take the right steps to mitigate the risk,

Like passing out Bibles and providing legal aid for last will and testaments, I assume.

What else are they going to do? That's a big honking target and the aluminum on a beer can is thicker.

I suppose they could present it ass-on toward the shower and reduce the cross section, but gathering everyone at the far end for a prayer meeting seems just as effective.

I like the Perseids too. But the last 3 years it has been overcast.

NASA may have become too politicized to function in an unbiased and scientific manner. Maybe it should stand down until America is restored.
