Comment I was hoping they'd be able to find a new object (Score 1) 48

for the New Horizons probe to explore, like they did with the "snowman asteroid"*, but the area of space it can reach is rather limited, as it can change its path by only about a degree with the fuel it has left.

It's still amazing something going that fast can change its path by a whole degree. Due to luck, it didn't have to use much of its onboard fuel to get to its last 2 big targets. I hope it gets a chance to use it on something important.

* Found the by the Hubble scope, actually. They keep changing the rock's name, so I just call it by its nickname.

Most such fraud would be done in bigger precincts, not small towns, so as to blend in better.

> so if it goes bad, you're right there to be caught.

Somebody who ready to run can outpace Barney Fife.

> you have to research the particular details of a specific person.

I'm sure Putin and Xi have a copy of everyone's drivers license.
