I thought I had read all your messages, but still had one. Oh, its on THIS thread. Hi, Don't follow any of the space or defense stocks, so have no opinion on them, but PBS (I think) had a very interesting program on yesterday about the possibility of large meteors or asteroids being able to hit the earth still. They discussed places where meteors can be found even today that fell to the earth thousands of years ago, people's property (mostly houses) which had been hit, and catastrophic events in the earth's history which are believed to have been caused by huge asteroids or meteors hitting the earth in the past. The program noted that as a rule, astronomers have been focusing their attention to the exploration of deep space. It wasn't until sometime in the '70's that a handful of astronomers have been looking a little closer to home at the asteroid belt and tracking the orbits of large meteors and comets to try to project the possibility of collisions in the future with the earth. Kind of throws some of my philosophical beliefs into a dizzy, but the ultimate question remains. Good program (what I saw of it). Check your local listings. Usually these programs are repeated over the course of a month or so.
