[/quote] Why? I'm a n00b to this.....seriously why? Are they afraid debris from the impact can wind up in Earth's orbit? [/quote] my theory is that this MASS, moving at 120,000 miles per hour, will be enough to split Mars into pieces, just like a water melon hitting a brick wall. and, that the pieces will fly all over the place leaving that whole region with *no more Mars*, and that the loss of Mars as a planet will catastrophically disrupt our Earth's orbit, causing an ELE event and TEOTWAWKI, and probably end up making the Earth a moon of Venus. [/quote] First of all, it isn't nearly powerful enough to split the planet. Second, even if it was, the gravity of all the pieces would congeal it back together again.

The core of the comet will be moving 56 kilometers per sec when it smashes into Mars. The explosion it creates will be equal to
40 BILLION 500kt nuclear bombs
(avg US and Russ arsenal weapon) going off at once, or 20 billion megatons of TNT, or 1.33 trillion Hiroshima bombs, or 1.3 billion Castle Bravo explosions. Its enough to kill all life on the planet if any were living there.
Astronomers predict a large-scale disaster on the Red Planet in October 2014, when a comet may ram into Mars, creating a 500-kilometer crater, the website of the Russian observatory ISON-NM said.

comet core 30 miles across
collision speed 35 miles per second (126,000 miles per hour)
It may make Mars temporarily as bright as the sun. The crater left behind will be 500 kilometers across. A lot of rock will be ejected into space and become stray asteroids. This will be an epic event.
