There's a program on Quest tonight about the Meteor that slammed in the Atmosphere over Russia the other week, just thought it might be of some interest.

Thanks for the heads up

It was on earlier in the week and based on the comments in the other thread it wasn't very good...

Apparently it wont take long for you to decide if it's worth watching...

Oh dear I must have missed the other thread, oh well its set on record & if it's bad as everyone says it is I can just delete it, hopefully Horizon will make a program about it.

That's my thread, honestly it's not worth the time. Obviously I'll Leave you to make up your own mind but it was so dumbed down and dramatised. Really disappointing x

Unfortunately it was a bit dissapointing - I think they jsut wanted to be the first, maybe someone will do a proper report on it soon

Now I'm just interested to see how bad it is lol.

[MAN or ASTROMAN]

The programme was a disappointment. The presentation was of the 'Breakfast' variety-i.e 'dummed down' to the lowest common denominator-definately 'science lite'! I found myself thinking 'typical over simlified American T.V.',which does American t.v.an injustice-because I HAVE seen some decent science programmmes from across the pond.Unfortunately this wasn't one of them (lol)! Hopefully the 'Horizon' programme on meteors will be a lot better.

Well what can I say apart from "it sucked big time"......that is all!!!

[DeepThought]

I didn't get past the first five minutes.

You'd think a rock the size of a double decker bus burning up in the atmosphere, lighting up the sky like a second sun and kicking out a 300 kiloton blast would be exciting enough, but still the American media feels the need to over dramatise the event.
