We Never Saw That Coming

Tracking smaller asteroids is no easy assignment

This is no surprise to me. It's vast out there in space and there's lots of reasons why things are hard to find. Just ask the guy looking for his glasses after he propped them up on his head. Or yourself when you wonder where you left your car keys last time.

I already wrote about this asteroid spotting thing [link].

As we all know, we always find things in the last place we look. So I do not look in the last place last anymore. Instead, I look in the first place last. It hasn't helped. Still, I figure it's worth a try.

We have the technology, they say, to avert what probably happened to the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. Perhaps, but you cannot avoid what you cannot see coming. I learned that back in my teens.
