A Bit Too Close For My Taste

Nice catch, Graham.

Recalculated, that's 450 Megatons. Still powerful, but not enough to really screw with anything more than the local area.

Oops, I saw 200 and assumed metres because that's what we use here. Ah well, 450 megatons? That'll fuck up whatever it hit but it won't end the world.

This doesn't make me feel good about our possibility of detecting these things.

[Mikey]

We actually have a foolproof method for detecting them - the problem is the timing.

[Nickswitz]

What might that fool proof method be?

When did Nick post a link in this thread?

[Captain Seafort]

Nick's link? Where did I say it was Nick's link?

Brain fart - I looked at the quote box rather than who was posting.

[Tsukiyumi]

Nick's link? Where did I say it was Nick's link?

Oh, nowhere. My mistake.

I couldn't find it anywhere else (e.g., YouTube) It's Professor Frink's plan to blow up the comet Bart found heading for Springfield.

Thanks for picking that up. Yes, the idea was that a huge meteorite is very easy to detect even just milliseconds after impact.

Well unfortunately we might think its a sudden sneak attack by a nation with nuclear weapons.
