R U talking about the asteroid that is supposed by
pass us by 4 LD on Sept 29th? I forgot the name
of it. It starts with a T and rotates oddly, like
a potato

Hello, Flyers:

No, that's Toutatis. Not sure of the spelling. I don't know the name of the one that the message was talking about. It is probably just a hoax, I guess, but I like to check things out. I have a question in to some astronomers.

Thanks spittncobra, cool info!

Hey, just out of curiousity - why aren't people up in arms about the astroid MK4 that will be closer to us than the moon in 2032? It is strange that nobody seems to be interested because it may not directly affect them, but some of us have families. Shouldn't there be some mention of the MK4 regardless so that people are aware? I will be almost at retirement age and none of us may be around by then, but who knows. It is weird how we live in a day where if it doesn't directly effect "me" then the heck with it. Doesn't anyone care anymore about our families and their future?

Strange...
Am I overreacting on this one a little?

Hello, Godsent:

Guess I'm getting close to retirement age too. Well, hopefully by 2032, we can shoot the thing down. Probably could now if they see it soon enough.

Godsent, I sent you a message. Did you get it? I was wondering if you've seen Jumpspace. I have a couple of posts to him on the AB Analysis, but he's never answered me. Guess he's gone now.

Yeah, I just replied to it. Sorry I didn't get to it yesterday. Haven't seen him.

I know that they are sending people out on "operation impact"; maybe this one astroid is the reason. Hopefully there are not more they are not sharing information about ya know?

Thanks, Godsent. I'll check my messages. There are so many NEOs out there it's just unreal and they're always discovering more every day. Let's hope one is not close right now.

if a porous ateroid is going to hit earth,there is nothing we can do to stop it because it absorbes the energy from an explosion and doesnt change trajectory...i hope MK4 is dense not porous

Those figures that I posted shows that object is not close enough to cause damage, thankfully! I hope the figures are correct.
