is NASA smarter than a 13-year old German School Boy?

11-10-2010, 09:15 AM

NASA has been forced to check its math after a 13-year-old German boy wrote to tell them their calculations for the probability of an asteroid hitting earth were incorrect. Agency bosses had predicted a one-in-45,000 chance of an interstellar object bringing an end to life as we know it; that was until teen Nico Marquardt told them that the figure was closer to one in 450.

doomed indeed.

Germans don't need NASA, they've got ESA already

NASA would be nothing without captured Germans anyway, lol. Is that irony? I think it's just a fun fact.

If it was an Asian kid that wrote NASA, I would be more worried.

'[The asteroid will pass] within the distance of Earth's geosynchronous satellites. However, because Apophis will pass interior to the positions of these satellites at closest approach, in a plane inclined at 40 degrees to the Earth's equator and passing outside the equatorial geosynchronous zone when crossing the equatorial plane, it does not threaten the satellites in that heavily populated region.'

ok, so wait a minute - nasa said we had a 1:45,000 chance of being splatted and whiped out...

AND NOBODY BATTED AN EYLID???

and people play the lotto in the hope of becoming rich????

1:45000 chance the human race is whiped out, and it only becomes news cos some teen whip says it's more like 1:450....

No matter which one is right, they are still fucking risky odds of wiping out everything!!

correct

also there is a slight chance it will pass through a certain path, and go through the keyhole, and then be sent out on an orbit that brings it rightback to us 7 years later

NASA is German already. All so-called "US-space program" was founded and directed by the German SS officer Werner Von Braun and his Nazi gang. Everything the US did in space (excluding later Challenger and Columbia failures) were done by a group of Nazi SS officers. Even a first man on the Moon was sent there by German Nazi's. There is no such a thing as a NATIONAL US space program, because it was managed by other nation. The nation of German SS officers.

Should the average American people be proud for their space program and NASA? I don't think so.

The asteroid will be closer to earth on its initial pass than some of our satellites. I guess the major concern is what will happen after the Sun's gravity whips it back in our direction for its return pass.

Two headlines from Discovery Channel News:

Don't Be Subtle, Nuke That Asteroid : Discovery News - LINK. Another Good Reason Not to Shoot Nukes at Asteroids : Discovery News - LINK

I hope nobody here actually gets their space science news from a cable TV network not named NASA.

A near Earth object passed between the Earth and the Moon last night, btw. It wasn't very big. No boom. No worries.

What does it mean 1:450?
