      So the thing is going to shnuck past us while the Earth is looking the other way?

      What is your criteria for 'lumps from the sky' Zig?

      I've got loads and loads of stuff that ultimately came from the sky. Its probably been here for about 6 billion years mind.

        Frogs came out of the sky once, in a shower of rain.
        They're sort of lumpy. Would they do, Zig?
        How much would you pay per frog? :lunapic 130165696578242 5:

            That man is a crazy nut, but it's crazy nuts that inspire us all:)

            I hope he does it. It'll be even more impressive if he even survives.

              Reminds me of the old saying:-

              You don't need a parachute to skydive - unless you want to do it a second time!!!
