Dear List,
  It is about time that someone is taking this
seriously. Year 2008 is fast approaching and the high
probability that we will have a catastrophic event
will not end for this "round" until 2028.
  It may be far out as a possibility; but since space
is basically a vacuum, would it be possible to either
paint or attach alternating black and white fins to an
early detected astroid to change its orbit? For those
on this list that have not studied physics please
consult a physics book. Are there any specialists out
there on this list that perhaps could answer this
question? Thank you.
Sincerely, Dirk Ross..Tokyo
