[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 859992, member: 17969"] Quote: ""An asteroid is a giant space rock that orbits the sun, like Earth. And someday one might threaten the planet. But sending people to one won't be easy. You can't land on an asteroid because you'd bounce off -- it has virtually no gravity. Reaching it might require a NASA spacecraft to harpoon it. Heck, astronauts couldn't even walk on it because they'd float away. NASA is thinking about jetpacks, tethers, bungees, nets and spiderwebs to allow explorers to float just above the surface of it while attached to a smaller mini-spaceship."" Again, crazytalk from scientists. A mission that will cost billions and accomplish nothing but to say "We did it". We dont have the money right now to see this through. Scientists can talk about this everyday for eternity, but without money, its only talk. Like I said, when this country is in better financial shape, things like this "might" be possible, but as long as this country is in the hole, it will never happen. Peace. [/QUOTE]
