New Madrid exercise = called off = "ATS EFFECT"
will the earth have any gravitational effect on the asteroid or does it go in a straight line?

Agreed. On 9/11 they were having a drill that matched exactly the type of attack that took place. Same with 7/7 in the U.K..
Although classified as a potentially hazardous object, 2005 YU55 poses no threat of an Earth collision over at least the next 100 years. However, this will be the closest approach to date by an object this large that we know about in advance and an event of this type will not happen again until 2028 when asteroid (153814) 2001 WN5 will pass to within 0.6 lunar distances.

I'll say the same thing here as in the Elenin didn't survive Perhelion thread. We don't have one item to worry about. (though of course we would if a big thing was really coming, so my statement is more analogy than anything!) We have a series of potentials coming, and always will have, until earth evolves as all energy eventually does. Ie. now, 5 years from now, 10 years, 50, etc etc.
What is the real concern, is that even for a modest event that would have some degree of impact, ie. CME's, big ones, and some earthquakes, maybe something hitting us, we won't survive. Nothing but cockroaches and grass will.
Why? Think of all the nuclear facilities and their fuel rods running dry.
Earth doesnt have a snowballs chance in hell to survive even a modest event.
...ditto.
So I think they're drills are irrelevant.
What they need to do is: Put All Nuclear Plants In Cold Shutdown, Immediately and Permanently.
And bring out the clean energy. I am aware China is buying up all the exotic mineral rights.
So get rid of patents and copyrights and usary as well.
However, earth and the moon/space debris, may have exotics, but just remember the over unity spin our planet does, is based off an IRON CORE. We got lots of iron. I'm sure some pretty good tesla coils and home power stations can be made using simpler designs.
And no, I don't wish to buy anyones fancy electricity makers, I want to make my own, and don't intend to allow Jackyls, and Pitbulls to fleece humanity any longer. In fact, for all their crimes against humanity, arrests need to made.

The speeds and orbits are affected, but on a rather minute scale. They diminish due to size and distance pretty rapidly. Through math, mainly calculus (Thanks, Newton!), we can get a rather accurate answer to what the effects will be. To say that these models are purely speculation is rather backward thinking towards science.edit on 7/24/2011 by cmdrkeenkid because: (no reason given)
It wasn't until general relativity was understood that we could even calculate highly elliptical orbits

When the original orbits of long period comets (before they entered the planetary region) are computed with respect to the Solar System barycentre, they are ALL found to be elliptical.
