Asteroids: Deadly Impact is about the Shoemaker's and how they took the path less chosen suggesting that impacts from asteroids and comets are more prevalent than previously thought. Having always been fascinated with space, I was struck by the gregariousness of the Shoemakers and how animated they were telling their story. All you need to do is look at the moon to understand that things from space hit us all the time. Most of the objects are like bugs hitting the windshield, but now and then there will be something bigger that the windshield can't stop. Since this film was made, Near Earth Asteroid Tracking (NEAT) has downgraded the estimated number of planet killers much to the relief of most people. http://neat.jpl.nasa.gov/neatintr.htm I love these kind of documentaries because you get to see the science and the people involved.
