This is a normal post Wow, that should cause a stir on the tin-foil hat forums
"About the size of a basket ball" does kind of make you realise how at the mercy of fate we are down here :/

This is a normal post apparently a meteor the size of a house would have the effect of a nuclear bomb
they hit the earth every 100 years I think, so we should be in for a treat soon

This is a normal post yeah they reckon the tunguska explosion was a meteorite that exploded in the air
that one was around 100 meters and 10-15 megatons according to wikipedia

It is possible that a smaller one could have hit since then and was just too far away from anywhere to be noticed though

This is a normal post 'Live each day as your last'
I am not a haunted person as a smoker; how the hell would they detect something the size of that hurling our way?

This is a normal post they aren't even looking for stuff that size, so you'd only detect it from the massive explosion melting your face off
here's some interesting info though:

As far as warning goes, the short answer is "we will either have a long lead time or none at all."

This is a normal post The cosmos fascinates me, if a neighbouring star goes supernova the chances are the shockwave of lethal radiation is going to wipe us all out
thank goodness Jupiter has the habit of soaking so much of these cosmic pebbles heading our way

This is a normal post It's explained quite well in a book hovering around my bathroom and long soaks in my bath
That despite being thirty years old, I re-bought off abebooks.co.uk a few months ago

'The Science in Science Fiction' by Nicholls, wonderful read
