From www.nasa.gov:
Small near-Earth asteroid 2012 DA14 will pass very close to Earth on Feb. 15, so close that it will pass inside the ring of geosynchronous weather and communications satellites.
NASA’s Near-Earth Object Program Office can accurately predict the asteroid’s path with the observations obtained, and it is therefore known that there is no chance that the asteroid might be on a collision course with Earth.
Well, that’s reassuring. Perhaps the Mayans were off by a couple of months and NASA is off in its calculations?
That would be one hell of a rude awakening. Perhaps ‘awakening’ is the wrong choice of words.
We need Bruce Willis!!!
Never fear, the salitllite cameras, NASA computers, and other technology used in these projections, along with other related technical support contractors, were all purchased on the basis of the lowest cost.
