Mars hype

The way the news media is talking about Mars being closer than ever
in the last 60 thousand years in a few hours makes it sound like the
Earth is going to get sideswiped or something.

Hi:

I haven't heard any of the media say or imply any of this. For the most part,
their coverage seems to have been pretty responsible. Not always overly
accurate, but that's where WE, local amateurs come in.
