nah, watched it up until the end.. we have a few 'close' calls with this cheeky sucker.. Thing is, this solar system has been doing this for a few more years than we've been around. And it's stayed on the same course all this time and not hit us.. it ain't gonna get bored and change it's mind one year..

cool site tho
