This case was just the same like an year ago from the british "astronomers". Donīt wonder, 40% of british people belive in the consspiracy in the death of the princess of Wales. The line of NASA is a the correct way to inform about this possibility. I know, there has been bigger hits, and there will be bigger hits in the future. I live 4 kilometers from Suvasvesi impact-structure, and because of that also my kids know, there has been bigger hits and there will be bigger hits in the future. But the way press and news handled this item is just a way to get more sold and more watchers, this is immoral and makes only damage. take care, pekka MrX3010_at_aol.com wrote: > Yes, the press likes to play up things quite a bit.
