Whether that says anything about me or about the current state of Horizon, I'm not altogether sure.

Asteroids are rocks, some are big, some are small, the big ones are easier to spot, so the small ones are more dangerous as we won't have much/any warning that one is about to hit a major city.
There you are, why do they need an hour to tell you that.

And this was back in the days when tables were cleaned with a bowl of soapy water and a cloth, rather than spraying some ineffectual cleaner on the food remnants and rubbing a greasy rag over it to smear it about a bit like they do now.

I watched it, quite an interesting programme even though they obviously have to put big lumps of the science into simple terms for those without a scientific background to be able to watch it.
I enjoyed it.
