Glad to hear it. Afterall, if Mars can easily get hit, so could we.

G'day Red, oh well, it would have been a nice follow up to Jupiter and the Comet and Deep Impact. There's always the future. Your score is getting pretty high mate. Will an asteroid come killer Planet X fall from the sky when you get to 2012???? Hmmmm?

The odds were always low though higher than usual. While it would be interesting for it to hit, I have mixed feelings since it would have probably caused problems for the still active rovers there.

True about the rovers, be nice if it did hit and they didn't cope a shower of rocks, but captured amzing images of Ka-Booom, and debris a flying. Just dreaming again, slap me.
