Equally threatening is the intense heat of impact, which would instantly vaporize the meteoroid and convert it to an ionized gas, or plasma, that would shock the spacecraft with an electrostatic charge. "If that charge got into some of your data circuitry," Riegler says, "it could wipe out data...
...incoming Leonids." Even the Hubble Space Telescope will turn its back to the meteoroids, to shield the aperture through which it scans the heavens. And the flat solar panels that energize most of the satellites will be turned edge on to the Leonid stream to minimize the possibility of impact...

That added confidence means capital flight out of Brazil and its currency, the real, should stop -- and that can ensure a recovery in and of itself. Adding to the warm fuzzies is this happy parallel: The U.S. is chipping in $5 billion on its own, the largest such committment since the bailout of Mexico in 1995. And that, not coincidentally, was the last time...
