Science fiction has taken turn to reality (03/24/04)
To read the details, it seemed like a story straight out of Hollywood. In January - completely unknown to virtually everyone - an asteroid was headed toward earth with as much as a 40 percent chance of striking somewhere.

Depending on where it struck, the results would have been devastating...
Your view: Share the beans (03/24/04)
