Gold diggers?

"If a space rock is detected early enough, scientists hope they will be able to deflect it with a nuclear-armed missile. Even a slight change of course could be enough for a far-off object to miss Earth."

BULL SNOT!!

It is an exercise for sophomore physics students to see just how futile this "hope" will be. To the futility of lotteries and catching anthrax we can add deflecting asteroids. The numbers are all of the same size. Prayer is equally effective in each case. Money is equally ineffective in each case.

The conspiracy of ignorance masquerades as common sense.

The smashed rubble, technically known as breccia

Breccia, technical term meaning "broken stuff." So they are down 2,800 feet already. The crustal plates around the region are kind of small compared to continental plates, almost as if one or two contintal plates were broken by an impact.
