piranhaso the latest potentially hazardous asteroid that might hit earth in about 25 years or so has moved from a 1 in 300 chance to a 1 in 37 chance now (i really like the other side of that, meaning it has a 97.3% chance of missing :). at a 2 on the torino scale it was already the highest hazard yet. the paramour and i have been following it since the original press release, and it's been upgraded to a 4 on that scale now.
what i am (idly, since it's late and i should be asleep, if only...) wondering is, at what point do governments start to worry about this? are there policy documents covering this sort of thing? just when will we be instructed that we're gonna be singing kumbayah with everyone on earth, including the various axes of evil?
[edit 2004-12-27: downgraded to a 1 in 28,000 chance now. guess i won't find out anytime soon what governments would do.]
