Steven this is an emotive statement without any reason.. Earlier this year, the unmanned Rosetta craft, which has already flown past Earth once, passed within 250 km (150 miles) of Mars. Did it fly past earth or did the earth rotate past it???? We cannot expect newsmen to state reality.. Just like they still say the sun rose.. when we know dont we, We greeted the sun....

Wowsers, that is some precise move, absolutely impossible to calculate such.
