Why NASA is saying 'we told you so' about doomsday hype... a week earlyA NASA video explains why "The World Didn't End Yesterday"... more than a week before the date that's been hyped as a purported doomsday. By Alan Boyle NASA's latest video debunking doomsday hype comes from the future — to be precise, from Dec. 22, one day after the expected peak for worries that the end of an ancient Maya calendar cycle will signal the end of the world as well. Some might think that the video, titled "The World Didn't End Yesterday," was prematurely released. But it wasn't: The advance word about the non-apocalypse is a key part of the space agency's plan.
