Where are you Asteroid-Man? "Grasping at straws" is widely used in Canada and the USA as well.
Asteroid-Man said:Can't the bombs send out a few light waves to make it look like radar trasmitters of sorts? A reason to them not finding the falcon could be because they're inside a worm.
I like that idea... much more plausible an explanation than carpet bombing an entire asteroid with low yield explosives. By light waves, were you thinking of something like this?
What would that look like when it hits the ground? (Assuming we'd see anything at all).
