Asteroids and the Human Animal
2011-10-04 16:09:00 I saw an article about Killer Asteriods and how Humanity must work together. See Killer Asteroids on Space.com This brings us back to “Can Humans work together?” Even if we have nanotechnology, this group of animals may not get it together in time to fix something like a killer asteroid. Look at the American political ...

The Key Towards Mars Is Deimos?

Near Earth Asteroids...the sky is falling.
2008-06-02 17:59:00 An interesting read here from Gregg Easterbrook regarding the risks from a major asteroid strike on the Earth. Once thought to be a terribly remote occurrence, it seems the more the astronomers look at the issue the less rare it appears to be. The Sky Is Falling A generation ago, the standard assumption was that a dangerous object would strike Earth perhaps once in a million years. By the mid-1990s, researchers began to say that the threat was greater: perhaps a strike every 300,000 years. This winter, I asked William Ailor, an asteroid specialist at The Aerospace Corporation, a think tank for the Air Force, what he thought the risk was. Ailor?s answer: a one-in-10 chance per century of a dangerous space-object strike. Although from what I can glean from this table: Sentry Risk Table [NASA], there appears to be only one rock that is of any concern at this time. [this one - 2007 VK184] and that will happen June 3rd...2048. The whole point of the first article seems ...

Can The Jews Save Earth From Deadly Asteroids?
2008-02-12 04:24:00 (Image Credit: Don Davis / NASA) While there are currently no known asteroids threatening our home world (with the exception of Apophis which has a slim possibility of striking Earth in 2036) a few Jewish students from Technion have come up with another approach for dealing with these deadly space rocks.(Israel National News) The students developed their plan in response to fears that an asteroid could collide with Earth in 2036, causing severe damage over an area with a 200-kilometer radius. The students proposed a $353 million plan that would send probes into space, where they would attach themselves to the asteroid and determine the risk of a collision. If the asteroid appeared to be on a collision course, a satellite would be sent into space and would, with help from Earth’s gravitational pull, steer the asteroid onto a different course.Currently there are various ideas on how to deal with asteroids threats, although the most promising ones tend to avoid using nukes (as that c...

Asteroids & Space Invaders
2008-02-08 06:52:00 Looking through the iPod games on iTunes I started to think about what other kinds of games could be converted to play on the iPod. I figured that most classic games would be able to and some of them would be fantastic on the iPod. The two I would like to see on the small screen the most are "Asteroids" and "Space Invaders".Think about it, these games would be perfect for the ipod Click wheel and I'm sure that Apple wouldn't have a problem trying to sell these classic games to iPod users.I'm Sure that Space Invaders would work great with a simple touch on either side of the click wheel moving the Spaceship sideways like in the iPod game "PAC-MAN". Then you could simply click the center button to fire, simple, yet hours of fun.As for Asteroids it could have a system of rotating kind of like in "Vortex". You simply move your thumb around the click wheel and the Spaceship rotates as your thumb goes. It might also have an option for the Spaceship to face the direction in which your t...

NASA To Locate Most Earth Killing Asteroids
2008-01-05 05:02:00 While colonizing the heavens above us is important to our species, defending our home world ranks even higher on the scale.Fortunately NASA (along with China) will be scanning the sky above looking for asteroids that can pose serious threats to our Earthen cradle.(Computer World) By the end of this year, NASA hopes to find about 90% of the largest asteroids that could potentially strike Earth, a blast that could throw dust into the atmosphere and cause firestorms and acid rain. These asteroids can be as large as mountains but are at least 1 kilometer (3,280.8 feet) in diameter. NASA estimates that 900 of these objects are in potentially hazardous range of Earth. Defending our planet from space rocks will probably become a priority long after we expand our presence throughout the solar system.Even if our species were able to send millions of individuals to colonize Mars, Ganymede, Callisto and Saturn's Titan, losing Earth would be devastating for our species, as there is no known wo...

Asteroids
2007-08-02 16:03:00 Rocks. Space rocks. Evil space rocks.Ahh the classic Asteroids with it's complicated game mechanics and plot. Just kidding. Actually a very nice game though, I'm pretty sure everybody knows what the Atari Asteroids game was about but just in case you don't, to sum it up, you've got a ship with which you need to blow up asteroids and alien space ships.So what does this game bring to the table ? Well besides the classical asteroids game with it's ancient arcade style graphics there are also 3 themed games: Modern, Techno and Virus. The Virus mode is a little bit different, instead of having asteroids that blow up your ship there are virus cells that attach themselves to your ship and drain it's energy. To shake them off you need to go to hyperspace.Also part of the game is a Power-Up mode, in which you have only one ship but can pick-up power-ups like shields and all kinds of missiles and laser targeted shots. A very diverse game, more like 4 games in one actually, Asteroids is ...

Asteroids - Vermin Of The Skies
2007-05-23 10:46:00 Asteroids, also called minor planets or planetoids. They are so numerous that they have earned the name 'Vermin of the Skies'. Hundreds of thousands of asteroids have been discovered within the solar system and the present rate of discovery is about 5000 per month. The largest is Ceres, 1003 km (623 miles) in diameter, followed by Pallas at 608 km (378 miles) and Vesta at 538 km (334 miles). Only Vesta occasionally comes close enough to Earth to become visible - if only just - to the naked eye.Asteriods were originally given classical names, but as more have been discovered, more inventive names have been devised. Asteroid number 694 is called 'Ekard' - its orbit was computed by students of Drake University, Iowa, and Ekard is Drake reversed. Asteroid 1625 is called 'The NORC', after an early electronic computer, the Naval Ordnance Research Calculator. 'Hapag' is named after a German shipping line, the Hamburg-Amerika Packetfahrt Aktien Gesellschaft. 'Bettina' is named aft...

Saving the World from Asteroids!
2007-03-04 05:41:01 This is outside of my normal range of topics, but I thought it was pretty cool. David, at Wild Ox’ Moan, has posted an interesting article about an acquaintance of his who is doing research that could potentially save the planet. No, this has nothing to do with global warming: Along with his graduate students, Dr. [Richard] Fork?s research may well prevent such a catastrophe. Basically, he is working on a laser that will deflect the paths of asteroids away from earth. …If his work shows promise he could receive $850,000 in grants to continue research. Congratulations Richard, and thanks from all of us here on earth. David has also included links to articles elsewhere on the internet about the project. Here is some more info, in case you’re looking for some scientific mumbo jumbo that I don’t understand: “The laser we are developing now is also being developed to ablate materials,” Fork said, but the device would be “a substantial distance...
