Mars close shave with C/2013 A1

Or Siding Spring. Gonna pass close today (evening?) and perhaps many of the assets around Mars might get lucky, or not if they get hit. They are hiding apparently, as far as orbits will allow.

I ended up is a spiralling curve of cursing printers not working and missed the Slooh link above. Caught the news this morning and all OK. The web site that is linked from that NASA link was dead slow and unresponsive for me last night.
