One of the things they're doing is calculating what it's orbit would have to be to hit the Earth, and where it would have had to have been on its last orbit to be in that orbit

If they find images of the right part of the sky at the right time and the asteroid is not in it, they know it's not on an orbit that will hit the Earth in 2032

I'm not saying he isn't terrible. I'm saying he didn't show that he was until recently. The first I think we saw of it was the Thai cave rescue crap in 2018. All I'm seeing is replies saying "here he is acting bad 4 years later"

I wonder if that's what Musk is good at (he must be good at something to be in the position he is in) – good at leading engineers to try, or maybe selecting engineers willing to try

Electric cars sucked before Tesla. Now several brands make good electrics. No one thought rocket boost stages could be recovered and reused, smart people were saying it was impossible, until SpaceX did it. No one has considered recovering and reusing the upper stage since Space Shuttle, until SpaceX announced they were going to
