@Ginger Tea:
On the space shuttle net thingy, well judging by the size of the asteroid we could've got by with 2 space shuttles with an uber elastic band, obviously the shuttles might need ejection seats retro fitted coz they might ping together - then again a large (erm massive?) engine upgrade would allow the shuttles to tug boat the asteroid to safety.
Problem solved then (;-).
Yeah it'd be nice to have a chance to get to the other side of the world, however I think accomodation might be at a premium - its bad enough near Newcastle each year when the Great North Run (a half marathon) takes place.
Interesting thread Puki!
it also said it was less than the distance between the earth and the moon, not that they said it passed inbetween them, but if it had hit the moon instead of the earth it would be just as damaging as the moons gravitational pull or the lack there off could be far reaching iir its not just the tides that are affected (aside from the obvious were 80% water bit that gets pulled up here and there)
