That footage needs to be recut with the movie's music to make it perfect.

That is SO cool. Such a magnificent event to have witnessed. :eek: I'm pumped just from watching the YouTube videos of it!

Of course, at the time, all those Russians would have been pooing themselves.

Interesting... I wonder if that has anything to do with this (http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/technology/sci-tech/australia-to-have-grandstand-view-of-asteroid-2012-da14-and-its-near-miss-with-earth/story-fn5h1ywy-1226577882092)?

I was thinking that too. The Russian thing happened just before 6pm (here) and the morning news had this guy talking about a lump of rock passing closer to the earth than some of the satellites we have in orbit. I was thinking that maybe it pulled a few fragments through with it, which were less mass, to be caught by our gravity (while the main lump of rock had enough momentum to keep going past).

It's quite scary when you think about it. I wonder if any bigger ones will hit us?

It's happened before and it will happen again. The question is when?
