Comet landing - Let the Conspiracy theories begin

[NuclearDevice]

With earth spinning on its axis at c1200mph, and with all these other movements going on as we travel through space at incredible speeds, is it possible that these galactic wanderings have anything to do with global warming / cooling over time ?

If you want to see how a galaxy moves then watch time-lapse satellite cyclone/hurricane/Typhoons move. Spiral arms are the same as a galaxies.

I can't even wrap my head around it and science was my worst subject.

I saw it on the news tonight, but the said the comet was traveling at 87000 mph not the 330000 said on this thread. But, the news here is often wrong.

;450000 mph though, that's insane. No wonder people get headaches. :-)

Comet will be arriving in 40 days, along with Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen,Cupid, Donner, and Blitzen

Dad, I struggle to wrap my head around the science of it all too. Must be a family thing - clearly my brother does too judging by his last post!

Truly awesome stuff though all the same.

Blimey they have discovered that water on earth didn't come from a comet. I could have told them that and saved them millions.
