Predicting an impact 2500 days in the future - taking into account n-body physics while also trying to measure the objects current position and velocity as accurately as possible - is an impressive feat of science & technology.
I imagine this is going to change year on year until we have to train drillers to be astronauts.
Well of course, measurements will get more accurate as it's studied longer, and everyone knows it's much too difficult to train highly educated and skilled astronauts how to be drillers!
Makes me not wanna close my eyes
