This morning I was delighted to learn about the “gravity tractor” theory which will be tested by sending a spaceship on a collision course with an asteroid not threatening earth over the next decade: The tractor could deflect an asteroid before it passes through a “keyhole,” an imaginary hoop in space through which asteroids must pass if they are to strike Earth; bypassing such a keyhole would ensure a miss.

A slower form of death concern of mine is the impact of global warming.
