Hello Ed and others,
See my brief essay in this Friday's issue of the "Asteroid/Comet
Connection":
http://www.hohmanntransfer.com/mn/0403/19.htm#04fh
By the way, the 1972 fireball would have done little harm would it have
descended steeper instead of disappearing in space again. It could have
given a spectacular shower of not too large meteorite fragments, but no real
large fragments among them.
