Won't cause a wake if it's below the com sats. They are still very much out of the atmosphere. Lets look at orbits to scale with the earth. The dashed line in the blue section right by the earth is where the ISS is orbiting. That blue section is Low Earth Orbit, and it's from the edge of the atmosphere to about 1200 miles up. The green line is where the GPS sats are orbiting The outside dashed line is Geostationary, or a "Clarke" orbit, about 22,236 miles up from the equator. This is where your DIRECTV type sats are hanging out - any kind of sattelite dish sitting on the ground, pointed at a constant spot in the sky, is pointing at a stattelite in geostationary orbit. ![]() So this asteroid is supposedly going to get within 17k miles? That's pretty darn close when you think about it! But when you look at the scale... it's pretty far away. |

Yes...but who Did the math? 17000 miles isn't that much a error. And hey the Mayans could've been a fewdays off

The myan calendar was fun while it lasted, back to the gregorian calendar...... I dont remember the source, but heard something on one of those boring history shows that the Romans i believe didnt count zero as there is no Roman numeral for zero and because of this time is off, lets not forget some civilizations didnt count leap year. Its my belief these cultures that worshiped the smaller stars had some form of flight as NASA uses the stars and moons to launch craft into space.

I told the wife to forget about valentines day this year cause the trajectory math of the astroid is off and it has been redirected by China and will hit washington DC instead of "passing by" and we will all go the path of the dinosaurs anyway. Dont think she believes me, she seems kinda distant and kinda pissed this morning.............

My concern would be it getting caught in our gravity field and entering orbit, circling 6 times before it crashes into the surface. Supposely the sun emits its own gravity field, thats what holds the 9 or so planets inline and each one has their own field as well as their moons and even astroid belts. |

Nothing is wrong with the music, but the planets are in the wrong order. Edited by Coche Blanco, Feb 14 2013, 06:34 PM.

14,000 eh? That gives it more leeway to not hit a satellite. Awesome. |

As someone once posted on some obsecure message board, Foolish humans, never left earth. 
and it has been redirected by China
and will hit washington DC
instead of "passing by" and we will all go the path of the dinosaurs anyway.
