Time to post the links to the real experts again as I see too many people taking EP seriously these days.

NEAR-EARTH ASTEROID DISCOVERY STATISTICS

Frequently Asked Questions

Asteroid And Comet Impact Hazards at Ames Research Center

March 2007 NASA Report to Congress

Note key finding that: "30-80 percent of potentially hazardous NEOs are in orbits that are beyond the capability of current or planned launch systems. Therefore, planetary gravity assist swingby trajectories or on-orbit assembly of modular propulsion systems may be needed to augment launch vehicle performance, if these objects need to be deflected."

Links to other important experts

Note: No links to an EP Grondine to be found at any of these reputable sites.

        Bogging down detection with other programs could ensure tracking won't happen. - Bowser - 12/22/2008 7:06:25 AM
