25 million ton asteroid will be the first in human history to pass close enough to be seen with the naked eye in 2029 (it will pass closer than many of our satellites).

The trouble comes in if the asteroid passes through the "keyhole", an area of our orbit that would cause the asteroid to certainly hit the Earth in 2036. There is a 45,000 to 1 chance of this happening. Once it goes through the keyhole, we do not have the technology to move it the 5,000 miles off its course it would take for it to miss earth.

The tough question comes in that we have the technology to cause it to miss the keyhole, but it would take around 12 years to plan such a mission and would be incredibly expensive. We won't know for sure if it will hit the keyhole until 2021, too late to stop it at our current technological level.

So do we blow the energy and money to divert it now, or risk it?

So you decide to investagate the corruption of a local buisnessman. Little do you know he has a huge precentage of stock in your I.S.P. All of a sudden your streaming video causes your comp to freeze or your dial up connection is lost. Perhaps even an automated solicitation calles you up on the phone to distract you.

"Even if our new strategy works exactly as planned, deadly acts of violence will continue, and we must expect more Iraqi and American casualties," he said. "The question is whether our new strategy will bring us closer to success. I believe that it will." -Bush

Besides it being childish, I have now lost respect for Barbara for not acting very professional anymore...She has succombed to Rosie's antics just for a laugh and ratings.
And Rosie just continues to show her ignorance.. Why she even started this tirade is a puzzle....
You can tell she is sorry now because she has dark circles under her eyes from either crying or lack of sleep ...or both....
I'm beginning to think there is something mental about Rosie anymore because of the way she acts....

He's already deployed troops as of Monday, the surge didn't need a vote. Sorry people, you've been duped. He's using the same hood that Saddam refused, he's using to put over all americans heads so that they "see no evil".

I watched the presidents speach tonight and I am wondering is there a conspiracy to bankrupt our nation? When did we vote to make Iraq a democracy. Aren't these things supposed to be, well, against the law? It all seems a little treasonous, to destabalize another nation, throw it into civil war, spend all of our money and use up all of our credit to do it and then have the audacity to try to call the resulting government which was forced on the people a democracy. When did the Iraqis ever ask for our help? How can they be dependant on us if we forced this on them? Thats like saying the prisoners are dependant on the guards for their incarceration.

I watched the presidents speach tonight and I am wondering are we forcing our way of life on others? Actually, Come to think of it I don't remember us having a vote on invading Iraq. It kind of seems like it was dictated to us that we were going to spend all of our budget surplus plus all of the nations credit on war.

President George Bush tonight ( 1-10 07) actually admitted that he did something wrong ! In regards to his failure to order a military buildup after it was obvious he should have, Bush said: "Where mistakes have been made, the responsibility rests with me ." That blew my mind ! Did it blow your mind too, that Bush would actually admit that he screwed up ?

Bush just threatened Iran in his big speech on Iraq and admitted what I've been telling you all for months...there are naval deployments directed specifically at Iran in the Persian Gulf right now.

Israel denied that it has plans to nuke Iran last weekend.

Bush is sending in troops to take out Iran's private army in Iraq.

I never heard what the cause of the natural gas smell was in NYC the other day. The last I heard was they figured it was just the smell escaping from somewhere, but I never heard anymore about it. Anyone know what they found it to be? Thanks.
