| German whizzkid got it wrong: NASA It was an incredible tale of a German schoolboy spotting a miscalculation by the US space agency, proving the chances of an asteroid hitting the Earth were higher than initially believed. (Advertisement) But the amazing story of the whizzkid versus the space bureaucracy turned out to be wrong, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration said Wednesday. The agency, sounding a bit like a weary math teacher, said its figures are correct when it comes to the asteroid Apophis, not the boy's. "We stand by our numbers," NASA spokesman Dwayne Brown told AFP. http://uk.news.yahoo.com/afp/2008041...t-f62056d.html
