WISE Prelaunch News Conference 12/9/09

After launch, WISE will scan the entire sky in infrared light with a sensitivity hundreds of times greater than ever before, picking up the glow of hundreds of millions of objects and producing millions of images. The mission will uncover objects never seen before, including the coolest stars, the universe's most luminous galaxies and some of the darkest near-Earth asteroids and comets. http://www.nasa.gov/wise

i'd go no with edelynm89, it is exciting from beginning to end yes the girl is too booooring but the mission is exciting.

once in orbit and set to function wise will eliminate the possibility of an armageddon that will hit earth within 18 days

if we detect such global killers through this wise we still need to figure out how to destroy such threats
