Item from the Associated Press -- "NASA says two small asteroids discovered just days ago will zip harmlessly past Earth on Wednesday ..."

Yup. Discovered just a few days ago.

What else would they tell us? I don't ever expect to see a bulletin like this: 'Issuing non-bulletins from an abandon mine shaft, NASA brass have no comment on that giant shadow covering our planet earth.'

The AP item concludes -- "Asteroid 2010 RX30, thought to be 32 to 65 feet long, will pass within 154,000 miles of Earth shortly before 3 a.m. PDT Wednesday. The second one, dubbed 2010 RF12, will fly by about 11 hours later at a distance of about 49,000 miles. NASA says the second one is 20 to 46 feet long."

Huh, huh.

We are really exposed. We hang out in space with no real defenses against anything that happens along, that might smack into our planet.
