If we mistakenly think it will hit because "their calculations aren't confident given that large distance."

If we mistakenly think it will hit because "their calculations aren't confident given that large distance."
- Arrath 3y agoPresumably the same distance that gives the calculations uncertainty allows time to adopt a wait and see approach, refine the data and calculations and then make a decision based off of stronger inputs and still avert disaster if necessary?
- Vecr 3y agoProbably better to hit it twice, the first time right after detection and a second time if the probability of impact is still too high.
