The Dark Asteroid is Still Coming. New News!!
posted October 2, 2009 - 3:17pmAs you may know, I have been writing for Xomba for several years. Some of those great articles dealt with Apophis, the Asteroid that may bring devastation to Earth in several years.
I have new important information! Go to the posted link BC online Magazine for my full report.
NASA says we have naught to fear in 2029, but whoa! 2036. And - they have plans to deal with it!!

Hi Les..
Having noted your interest in Global Warming, I penned another artice at B.C. Magazine, which is linked here.

Hi John. Good to see you are looking in here now and then.
I wrote an article about Apophis and was going to post it here a couple years back. But I ended up in an impromtu interview and discussion on the phone with Rusty Schweickart, www.well.com/~rs/ , trying to get permission to use info from one of the sites he is associated with. I got permission, but xomba was not able to handle the approach I wanted to use -- and it iwas more pliant then. I wrote the piece, shelved it.
I decided Xomba could not handle the formatting (and it is not able to now) of the data and computations I wanted to post. That is why you never saw one from me. I read yours. Good shew!
John, we will likely be long dead by then. Surely. John, the potential of the Apophis impact in the future is small potatoes compared to the devastation of global warming. Eros is big potatoes, and anything from a kilometer up is serious crap to pile on top of the warming. All of these loom ahead. Choose your devil carefully.
I want to see the astrounauts solution tried.

Sunday Morning! Here is a
Sunday Morning! Here is a recent quote from CNN:
"If Apophis passes the earth (2029) at a distance of exactly 18,893 miles (or less, obviously) it will open a "gravitational keyhole" causing it to enter a new orbit that would put it on a direct collision course with earth seven years later. Current predictions are that Apophis will pass between 18,880 and 20,880 miles from earth.
"...Hitting the earth at 28,000 mph an asteroid the size and mass of Apophis would pack the energy of 58,000 Hiroshima nuclear bombs"
