The bigger this thing actually is, the more Earth pulls it closer...

I would have to assume when they said it would not hit, they were using the 45m number.

True that they should be updating that with the new size, but have they?

anyone?

if the trend continues...45, 52, 58, 65, etc. with three days to go we could easily find out it's 100m, so they have got to keep re-calcing the gravity effects, but will they tell us the new results?

maybe is a a kilometer or a few and they are just trying to confuse the amateurs til the last minute

Actually by amateur observations the size seems to be a bit smaller than what NASA is saying, not larger.
