Better duck under something if the comet doesn't have a good GPS?

'Sods Law' says it'll either hit us or the Mars Rover.

Hi CreekE. I was reading yesterday that there is a large comet that has a one in 2thousand chance of hitting Mars this fall or early next year. That would be interesting to see if it in fact hit.

Thanks again for the suggested links Gary.   Along the North Thames River  where I am in we seem to miss a lot but after I've finished a curry i'm having tonight the clouds will move south fast.
