March Storm 2002

One of the subjects I suggest to have on the agenda is concerning Asteroids. Recall this subject as an agena item before?

Access to space by collecting resources from Asteroids and helping eliminate the threat was once a good subject.

Some data on asteroid facts:

Closest Recorded approaches I have on record

Asteroid Hermes(not seen any more after 1937)
1937, Oct. 30, 558,000 miles close to impact to Earth

Asteroid 4581 Asclepius
1989, Mar. 1, 372,000 miles close to impact to Earth

Asteroid 1991 BA
1991, Jan. 18, 93,000 miles close to impact to Earth

Asteroid 1993 KA2
1993, May. 1993 93,000 miles close to impact to Earth

Asteroid 1994 XL1 formerly XM1
1994, Dec. 9, 65,000 miles close to impact to Earth

As one can see, they get closer and closer
