I read a Popular Mechanics article a couple of years back that was very in depth in discussing the various asteroids, meteors, and meteorites that are
orbiting the earth as well previous mega impacts and the program that tracts them. It was a very interesting article, but the part that made my jaw
drop was the budget for Deep Impact and Armageddon was ten times the amount that was being spent in actual research to evaluate what steps could be
taken if we were able to find one of these giants early enough in orbit. I will try locate a link. It was right around the time they broke Air Force
saucer thing that we were never suppose to have.


that's not what i meant, i mean, there's nothing left to say, about what i was talking about, not about what the thread is really about.
