Were learning about the meteor that slammed into western siberia. The blast so big, people thought it was the end of the world. The meter exploded with the force of 20 acot tothic dog bombs. Scientists sate was the largest to hit land in more than a century. Biggest chunks slammed into a frozen lake. A thousand people were injured by glass because theyre standing near windows to see what caused the flash of light. Officials say 3,000 buildings were damaged. The meteor blasted with out warning on the day we were watching an asteroid fly by. Wayne . Time kog not have come at a better time. Damage was small compared with what the larger asteroid would have done. The scary part is that had it been coming at us we could have been helpless but a local foundation wants to change that. This happened when most of us thought we had the rest of us at bay. You might think of it as a cosmic warning shot. It missed earth as expected by 17,000 miles today. 20 years ago if it fli flew by the earth we never would have known it. A plan to launch a telescope that would map space giving earth decades of advancedn ;c warning rather tha year, month or seconds like seen today. The ceo is ed lieu told us would it have made a difference had the larger asteroid been on an impact course. With 10, 2050 years, its straight forward that is what koit have had with todays. That is why the foundation is hoping to raise public don yaigs of 450 million. Small price, they say compared with the alternative. How can we let parts of our civil saigs or cities go away . Be destroyed if we could have done something about it. Another interesting note. Learning today a governmentfunded think tank concluded if scientists were to learn of an impending impact, public should not be warned. It says panic, misery and disruption would not be worth while. The institute suggests telling people only if there is something human race can do. Its overwhelming power from space. Thank you very much.
