Hey uv, want a space rock?

So all this debris apparently not connected to the asteroid? Came out of
the day side, never saw it honest guv.

So what about the ISS, I would be very worried if some clusters of rocks
like we have just had in Russia, Japan etc were not seen coming if I were
on board right now. I thought they monitored with radar.
Its also one heck of a coincidence that these rocks are coming in now,
within a day of the big one. One is forced to suspect that they are if not
directly related, at least part of the same event that created it.

Why? Is a bus arriving in town at the same time as a plane overflies
on the way to Gatwick "at least part of the same event that created
it"?

Although I hear what you say, the size of both rocks were much larger than
normal, thus the coincidence factor is all the more unlikely to me at least.
Its like saying a vintage bus and a spitfire flying over rather than any
old bus and any old plane.

The real question is, why did they not see it, As I said before, if I were
in the iss where they routinely raise and lower the orbit to miss space
junk, surely some radar is actually looking for new stuff coming along. With
regard to what to tell the public, well, I imagine they would be a bit
wooly about it and say a large boulder is coming but it is only dangerous if
ity directly hits a populated area. In fact I think this has been said
before when we regularly go through known debris steams from comets.

Out of curiosoty, NASA made a big PR move to warn that the 14 rock would
not hit the earth. We knew in advance.

How come the siberian rock, if roughly the same size, was not foreseen ?

Sorry to wear a conspiracy hat for a moment, but if they had seen the
russian rock, and calculations showed high probability to entering
atmosphere, would they warn the population ?

If you can't predict how the rock will behave (explode in atmophere or
hit ground) and fairly precisely know where this would happen, is there
any logic in annoucing it ahead of time ?

Apparently they really could care less about the expendable crew
aboard ISS.

Remember Monday, when JF Mezei asked plainitively:

Roughly the same size? Where did you read that? The size estimates
for the impactor that I've seen are "about the size of a bus".
