Rooster_Ties Posted September 2, 2003 Report Posted September 2, 2003 Can Kevin get Michael on the phone quick, and have him hurry up the pace of the BN reissue program!!!!! Especially the Conns. I realize that they need to be careful not to flood the market with RVG's, but if we all have barely 10 years to live, it would be nice to have a new set of Conns a least more frequently than once every 12-15 months. Come on!!! - let's get our priorities straight - times a wastin'!!!!!!!! Giant asteroid could hit Earth in 2014 Tuesday, September 2, 2003 Posted: 11:38 AM EDT (1538 GMT) Artist's impression of asteroid over Earth LONDON, England (Reuters) -- A giant asteroid is heading for Earth and could hit in 2014, U.S. astronomers have warned British space monitors. But for those fearing Armageddon, don't be alarmed -- the chances of a catastrophic collision are just one in 909,000. Asteroid "2003 QQ47" will be closely monitored over the next two months. Its potential strike date is March 21, 2014, but astronomers say that any risk of impact is likely to decrease as further data is gathered. On impact, it could have the effect of 20 million Hiroshima atomic bombs, a spokesman for the British government's Near Earth Object Information Centre told BBC radio. The Centre issued the warning about the asteroid after the giant rock was first observed in New Mexico by the Lincoln Near Earth Asteroid Research Program. "The Near Earth Object will be observable from Earth for the next two months and astronomers will continue to track it over this period," said Dr Alan Fitzsimmons, one of the expert team advising the Centre. Asteroids such as 2003 QQ47 are chunks of rock left over from the formation of the solar system 4.5 billion years ago. Most are kept at a safe distance from the Earth in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. But the gravitational influence of giant planets such as Jupiter can nudge asteroids out of these safe orbits and send them plunging towards Earth. Quote
Uncle Skid Posted September 2, 2003 Report Posted September 2, 2003 Can Kevin get Michael on the phone quick, and have him hurry up the pace of the BN reissue program!!!!! Especially the Conns. Dumb newbie questions: do you know how many more BN reissues are in the pipeline? Are these more RVG's? Is their a listing somewhere on the internet of the release schedule? I've been buying CD's at an alarming rate, and I'll still haven't really scratched the surface of what's available now. *Please* don't tell me there's lots more coming -- my Visa card is getting worn out from extensive use!! Actually, it's great to know that these recordings are becoming more easily available. I'm sure I don't need to explain why this is so exciting to the members of this board - but discovering all of this great music has literally been a life-changing experience! Quote
