2010 - 2012 WINNERS Contest: Save the World from the Giant Asteriod
We want you to save the world and be a WINNER!
Out in space there are hundreds of what we know as "near-earth" objects. These are silent asteroids that move around our earth and one might hit us someday if we don't figure out how to stop it.
Click here to watch a video describing an asteroid and showing what it might look like if it came to earth.
