Another new "Spacey" type program coming up!

[TAandy]

Pinched from Kirk Pearsons web site;

"Orbit@home will be a BOINC-based project which uses the Orbit Reconstruction, Simulation and Analysis (ORSA) framework "to monitor the impact hazard posed by Near Earth Objects." The project does not have its own website, but more information can be found at the ORSA@work website and in a presentation poster titled Distributed Computing and Near Earth Objects Hazard Monitoring, published by Pasquale Tricarico of Washington State University on November 14, 2004. "

Nifty find! I've been looking for a project like that to appear for quite a while; as it stands, there are actually very few individuals or agencies tracking NEOs.

I love the idea, but I am not sure I'd want to know "the end is near, and me with no rocket" 🙁

LOL

How about the end is near...........no it isn't, lets blast the ah heck!😉

Maybe if your computer is the one that finds the Object that destroys half the world it would be named after you. Infamy ... oooooooh

Isnt this science so that we can launch some sort of preemptive strike against an object? It would be nice to know far enough in advance so that we might be able to do something and save earth.

That's more or less what I said 😉
