Cecil. Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 That asteroid has made the news again last night. National news. They say its to pass between the Earth and the moon. A bit too close for comfort and enough to make us start asking what in Gods name could we do if we were going to get hit? And can we believe without any doubt this damn thing wont hit us? I guess this one is the size of half a football field? Scary shit For a hit ? Well at the momment it is all rather vague, ideas abound action seems rather thinner on the ground.

Good Googly Woogly I am impressed. I just read an article that says it will take about 500+ days for Astronauts to get there. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/compost/wp/2013/02/27/manned-mars-mission-in-2018-another-unfunded-space-program-to-get-excited-about/ Another link to improved rovers 2020 http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/m2020/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Dawg Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 NASA is befuddled by lack of sunspots. They were expecting 2013 to be a active year for solar flares and appearance of sunspots. Who knew? Maybe they are the same experts that predicted the massive snowstorm that shutdown DC this entire week. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2290289/NASA-warns-unexpected-happening-Sun-year-supposed-peak-sunspot-cycle.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But more samples are coming. Itis not difinitive, but they are optomistic they will find the proof it seems. But what kind of life? I realize if even microscopic protozoa are found it will be percieved as Earth shattering news. Buts lets wait until we know for sure. These scientists are very fast and eager to report things.
