Researchers at JPL have downgraded the threat to Mars from the asteroid 2007 WD5, and it seems more and more likely that the object will miss the Red Planet this time around. The odds of an impact are now about 1 in 10,000 down from the excitingly scary 1 in 25 figure bandied about earlier this month.
Drat.




Too bad, I was looking forward to taking care of the Martian Menace once and for all.
