Yesterday, there was some scientist on the news....kinda laughing at folks worrying about these meteorites (or whatever) hitting the earth...
========================================================== What an idiot.
People worrying about 2012 DA14 SPECIFICALLY hitting the Earth are idiots and deserve to be laughed at. Orbital mechanics and orbital prediction are very old, very well understood sciences of great precision.
I know people have an all-consuming hatred of scientists around here but I suspect that 1) the scientist was referring to DA14 specifically and 2) whatever he said is being exaggerated.
