[Boatanchors] Space Shuttle (OT, kinda)

Well, I might still be around then (2036).  I would be 92.  My Mother will 
be 92 in December.  Her Father lived to 99.9.  :-)

I hadn't actually heard about this asteroid.  I assume it will be making 
progressively closer passes in 2015 and 2022 and must have gone by not too far 
around in 2008.  However, the three-body problem has never been accurately 
solved.  If it is a near miss in 2029, I'll bet it goes somewhere else by 
2036.
