Staying Alive
Although the Earth feels safe to us, the cratered surface of the Moon shows all too clearly the destructive power of the asteroids and comets that hurtle through space. (2005)
Although the Earth feels pretty safe to us, the cratered surface of the Moon shows all too clearly the destructive power of the asteroids and comets that hurtle through space. Often missing the Earth by a cosmic whisper but capable of causing massive devastation, the threat of the rogue meteor is one we ignore at our peril.The facts in this programme were correct at the time of first broadcast. (2005)
