NASAs Manned Foreign mission to Asteroid 2000 SG344 The asteroid, that was in 2000 yielded a high chance of impressing Earth (but has since been submitted to improbable, along with so plenty of others), has been placed as a potential landing place site for astronauts. All the same, more than simply the next step in our outward journey, this missionary station would as well provide experts with priceless information about long term journeys.
Nasa plans landing on 40m-wide asteroid travelling at 28,000mph It was once considered the most dangerous object in the universe, heading for Earth with the explosive power of 84 Hiroshimas. Now an asteroid called 2000 SG344, a lump of rock barely the size of a large yacht, is in the spotlight again, this time as a contender for the next giant leap for mankind.
