Yes, ever notice the new trend about the news media commenting on  asteroid heading towards earth.?

Question is why are  sensation about this. Something to just write about would suppose. A miss is as good as a 1000 km.

Or, the boy who cried...Wolf.

Thanks!

The end of the human race does generate a lot of news.

While we're discussing space stuff, have you heard about the "boomerang meteorite"?  A small meteorite was found recently.  No big deal, until it was studied and found to be made of Earth materials.  And yet, it had clearly been exposed to galactic radiation for around 10,000 years.  Odd, right?  

 

The current thinking on this meteorite is that it was somehow blasted into space from Earth, either by a bigger meteorite impact, or by a volcanic event, which often throws material very high in the sky.  It must take a really weird series of events to make that happen, but more than once we've seen meteorites that clearly came from Mars, so these things happen.

Public Service Announcement: This relates to why I immediately took down my link concerning the House investigating UFO Conspiracies (along with 3 other hearings this week that puzzled me) because there are important things going on that no longer can be discussed on the Klipsch Forum. Fwiw, half of your post is opinion, while the other is fact (actually a higher number of charges, not indictments) in reality). Unfortunately, both are against the TOS. 

Appreciate your input and correction. From my perspective my post is what most people see/hear everyday. You ever catch the news? Nothing I said was out of line. If it doesn’t meet your high standards, tough. I’m sure you will notify the powers that be for removal. It’s good to have forum whistleblowers who are present and alert -

To say more, have Google news on my phone. It about every day headed towards earth the size of statue of Liberty. Next story, the size of 50 Barbie dolls... really?

Asteroids have been hitting Earth for a million years

Remember the Dinosaurs ??

How many years of Winter ?

They call them slippers in the Philippines... probably 50% of the population wears them all time. Of course I'm exaggerating, maybe. Motorcycle drivers wear them, although now illegal in Manila. Helmets are now required, too.

Everything you said was out of line. Purely political, clearly off limits.

 

If this doesn’t meet your low standards, too bad.
