Wow, that's mature. Totally gratuitous and off topic as well. What are you, a fifth grader?; १०/१०/०७, ११:२६ AM
jeff म्हणाले...: "To deflect a 20-kilometre asteroid, about the size of the one that wiped out the dinosaurs, it would take the combined work of 5000 mirror spacecraft focusing sunlight on the asteroid for three or more years."

I don't know. Might want to keep that blanket handy.; १०/१०/०७, ४:०७ PM

5000? We might want to re-consider that border fence.

Lou Dobbs won't be pleased.

We can send him up on one of the craft, if he doesn't like it.
