Meteorite hits Russia

[LiNuX]

Heard about it before I left for work this morning. This was the topic of the day at work today, every one I saw mentioned it to me since they all know I'm into astronomy.

For those wondering, this isn't linked with Asteroid DA14 which passed by Earth today. If it was, we would have seen a lot more fragments coming down (Source: NDT).

It's pretty awesome but sucks that it hurt so many people. I'm glad there were no casualties. This is a sign that the space program needs to be very highly boosted because this is just one out of trillions of rocks (asteroids and comets) which have not been discovered yet.
