    Aren't Asians suppose to be smart? Boomerang is an Aerodynamic based device.. There is no AIR in space Masuka...

  • The again, if this asteroid crashed into Earth several times before, how come it is still there? Did it bounce off after the crash? Or is this going to be its first encounter with Earth, in December 2012?

  • There is, obviously, a boomerang shape hidden in the structure of Toutatis. May be, there is some way to help it to fly back, to where it came from.

  • If asteroid Toutatis is so dangerous to Earth, why not figure it's weakest point, plant there nuclear devices and blast at the right moment. It will crack in two smaller peaces and it will change their trajectory. Then take care of each peace in the same manner, until all the peaces fly away from Earth.
