Hi List, Hi Matthias, I have a logical problem with the statement of Nasa expert David Morrison.
The Meteorites we know are all from our solar system, so how it's possible the fall rate is increasing by a flight from our solar system through a region of denser space-traffic? Does this mean more Meteorites have been activated to leave the asteroid belt in the past? Andi Von: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Im Auftrag von Matthias Bärmann Gesendet: Montag, 30.

(With other words: Bassikounou, Chergach, Hosur, Tamdaght, West, Lolland, Station 6 etc. - obviously not only just by chance.) In this context the text also underlines the increasing probability of bigger asteroids hitting our planet. But, alas, in contrary to the USA nearly nothing seems to be done in Europe to reenforce programms for monitoring the asteroidical traffic around earth.
