dont let the distance confuse you...

it might be 200,000 miles away but will it cross our path/orbit..

Asteroid 1989FC was reported as missing us by 600,000 miles but what they didnt tell you was it passed the exact same spot earth had been 6 hours earlier

so not so far away eh? 6 hours from possible extinction/global catastrophe

so a few more mile per hour etc and boom 50000 times more power then the hiroshima bomb...

all seems a bit fragile now doesnt it and we are well passed our extinction date

dont hjave nightmares

You mean 6 x 66,000 miles!? That's actually less than 600,000, so it was nearer than they told us.

er? lost me ragnarok

reports were 600,000 mile miss but they only realised it had missed 3 days after it had passsed and worked the numbers back...

so their technology missed it too..

We have been warned. On 23 March 1989, asteroid 1989FC (with the potential impact energy of over 1000 megatons, roughly the equivalent a thousand of the most powerful nuclear bombs) missed Earth by about six hours [Freedman 1995]. We first saw this fellow after closest approach. If 1989FC had come in six hours later most of us would have been killed with zero warning. We are hit by thousands of smaller asteroids every year and we don't see any of them before the collision.

Mainstream beliefs of whom?
