The Associated Press: Asteroid May Hit Mars in Next Month
I'm kinda excited that it might hit. Watching Comet Shumaker-Levy 9 hit Jupiter in 96 was pretty awesome. Seeing an asteroid hit a terrestrial planet would be cool indeed.
I don't think Marvin would take well to it.
Just for giggles here's a couple of online calculator that estimate impact damage. They're loads of fun.
