Letter: Impact avoidance

Published 28 November 1998

From Michael Paine

Al Gore’s $75 million Triana satellite
(This Week, 7 November, p 5)
will be perfect for watching an asteroid or comet collide with the Earth.

Of course, if the money had been spent on the struggling Spaceguard proposal
then such an impact might be avoided altogether. See
