Asteroid
The Blogfather points us to this interesting article on a juvenile deliquent asteroid that may crash the party here on earth.
This is the story Armageddon should have been. Defeating rogue asteroids is the work of decades, not weeks. A close call is hundreds-of-thousands of miles not glancing off the atmosphere at physics-defying angles.
If you think the story can't be told on film, look at Apollo 13, the real-life story which is being honored today. A skillful storyteller can keep your heart pounding even when you know how it will turn out in the end.
I guess the Spousal Unit and I will have to put this one on the to-do list. Nobody else will tackle it, I'm sure.
