"its called" ?
i call it HOLLOW ALIEN SPACECRAFT , just like our moon

the question here is why on the site are "APROACH ANALYSIS DATA" and why the site is called "Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous" .... (you know that i dont buy the word "asteroid"..)

It might hit us in around 2 million years! :ohno:

433 Eros (pronounced /ˈɪərɒs/ IRR-os) is the first discovered Near-Earth asteroid, named after the Greek god of love, Eros (Greek Ἔρως). It is an S-type asteroid approximately 34.4×11.2×11.2 km in size, the second-largest near-Earth asteroid (NEA) after 1036 Ganymed, belonging to the Amors. It is a Mars-crosser asteroid and was the first asteroid that was known to come within the orbit of Mars. Eros is one of the few NEAs with a maximum diameter greater than 10 km. It is believed to be larger than the impactor that created Chicxulub Crater in the Yucatán, which has been linked to the extinction of the dinosaurs.
Eros was visited by the NEAR Shoemaker probe, which orbited it, taking extensive photographs of its surface, and, on February 12, 2001, at the end of its mission, landed on the asteroid's surface using its maneuvering jets.
Objects in an orbit like Eros can exist for only a few hundred million years before the orbit is perturbed by gravitational interactions. Simulations suggest that Eros may evolve into an Earth-crosser within 2 million years.

Without being sarcastic, its pretty damn amazing that we can hit and LAND on a metoer traveling whatever how fast, million miles an hour, and we LAND something little and remote controlled by almost JUST knowing trajectories...

I mean cmon..thats just asttounding..
like holy shit thats cool...
and its proof that they arent idiots..
