The moon averages 250 thousand miles from Earth. 10 times closer than that
Hokie CPA • 11/25/24 01:18 PM ET
Exactly who is getting worked up, other than Edge?**
PhotoHokieNC • 11/25/24 04:16 PM ET
That's what the "experts" are saying now.
EDGEMAN • 11/25/24 02:20 PM ET
The moon is about 250k miles from the Earth. **
BB Hokie • 11/25/24 02:18 PM ET
That would put the asteroid at the edge of the atmosphere, correct?**
TomTurkey • 11/25/24 02:35 PM ET
But what if the Earth isn't actually round?**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 11/25/24 02:31 PM ET
Tom Turkey is correct - pear shaped?**
HokieHi71 • 11/25/24 04:00 PM ET
And it's not**
TomTurkey • 11/25/24 02:36 PM ET
We should really be concerned about Gamera altering Apophis’ course….**
CrystalCoveHokie • 11/25/24 12:55 PM ET
Absolutely! **
ColoVT82 • 11/25/24 08:18 PM ET

Zero chance? LOL. They don't have the foresight to make that statement.
MikeVT85 • 11/25/24 12:33 PM ET
I hear it is heard for the Tesla Elon put into space. **

We've all got to die sometime...**
Beerman • 11/25/24 12:25 PM ET
Can't say, we'll know more by '27 when orbit is better refined**

Bruce Willis is in no condition to take of it**
HokieDan95 • 11/25/24 12:00 PM ET
We could send him, he just probably couldn't do much... (dark humor)**
UTPr0sim • 11/25/24 03:47 PM ET
Near miss, unless the Government would lie to the American people
HortHokie • 11/25/24 11:58 AM ET
Which government?
Beerman • 11/25/24 01:54 PM ET
Probably true**
HortHokie • 11/25/24 02:44 PM ET
