Last 101 Days

Dr. Gene Forrester has been promoting his idea for years to place an array of satellite sails in High Earth Orbit for earlier detection of NEOs and NEAs (Near Earth Asteroids). After several sub-cargo shuttle missions, it is finally in place and working well. Those satellites adjust their distances from one another by using the same solar sailing method used by the Mariner 10's robotic probe, way back in 1973.Although his small mountain top staff is in the process of resolving some of the kinks within NEOBS, at least they are positioned to first detect and further track an extinction event sourcing from near Mercury. As the Times Square tracker installed above the national debt clock continues ticking down, an additional set of culprits appear to be our own Sun and contaminated Moon.As the 101 day countdown gets closer to Christmas Eve, it becomes eventually apparent that Washington and the Pentagon are not revealing to scientists and observatories everything they know, having some interception missions planned of their own. One of those missions is headed by Dr. Selah Chapman, a Washington and DOD insider.
