May be leaving DU on Sunday

Maybe I worry too much - only 25k away and only 60 feet long.

Site has an article on redirecting asteroids to circle the moon as mini-moons, I guess, to do various things to them. Now, what could possibly go wrong with that?

1. My dear packman, I think you might worry too much!

First of all, worrying about something that we have ZERO control over is just spinning our wheels.

There is nothing we can do about the trajectory of this asteroid.

NASA might be able to do something about it, but that's up to them...

Relax!

arse on the way out
