BREAKING!!NASA to Make Announcement On Near-Earth Asteroids Thursday***

Not good pin this

Well, if they're making an announcement on it Thursday, I guess they're not too concerned about it destroying the planet on Wednesday. :P

True.. Thats why I think 2012 is it

I agree Pin this

or maybe we won't get to Thursday?

very funny and real.....

Nah 2012 is the end . Just look at the signs! The sun is going crazy!!

DO NOT WORRY, MUST BE PEACES OF ANOTHER DEFUNCT SATELLITE...

DAMN YOU NASA, YOU'RE A BUNCH OF CRIMINALS.

me thinks

Nov 2 - 9th

just guessing

its the 27th here in New Zealand and no doom yet mind you cloudy sky wont see it coming

So first we get:



Followed by a NASA announcement...

Genius!

will this asteroid be visible with out a telescope

You would, the clouds would light up with a blinding light about 2 seconds before you are 'gone to meet your maker'...

oh of course,I have heard of this creator but one question wat was his purpose of creating us was it to be the guardians of earth???????????????????????????

Seems like a psyop article, especially since we have an asteroid passing at .6 ld tomorrow. Along with all the other shit going on.

On September 26, 2011 there were 1250 potentially hazardous asteroids.

Check out Sept. 27th date. Also Oct 17th

"NASA says it will hold a news conference at 1 p.m. EDT (6 p.m. GMT) on Thursday to reveal near-Earth asteroid findings and implications for future research.

The briefing will take place at NASA Headquarters in Washington.

NASA’s Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) mission, launched in December 2009, captured millions of images of galaxies and objects in space."

Oh sure, an asteroid detectable in the infrared range? Puh-leeze.

If it's something found in the infrared range it's not an asteroid NASA will be announcing

OH FUCKING NICE !!! LOL!!!

Off topic, but got to thinking about the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo spacecraft, Progress, Soyzus, etc.. and they all have shields for re-entry that are intended to keep them from breaking up on re-entry... Even the ICBM nuclear warheads are heat shielded for re-entry.

If they are going to plan de-orbiting sats, or even because they know that ones launched into certain ranges of orbits will eventually de-orbit on their own, then why, why, why, are not all these new satellites being build with re-entry systems on board for that eventual commanded or environmental de-orbit?

Seems that as far as un-manned sats, except ICBM nuclear warheads, all the other sats launched are more or less treated by an, 'as is' warranty,. just as software is treated. To me that is a very cavalier, devil couldn't care less attitude. We know that what goes up will very much tend to come down... so why are we allowing all the world's space launch systems to be so cavalier as to launch any sat or space launch without some sort of re-entry heat shield?

Actually, in spite of the comments of "those who hate NASA", and in particular NASA ONLY sort of hate, the people at NASA do very much care about near earth asteroids... they can fall on their heads as well as ours, after all. But what many people seem to forget is that Congress is constantly setting forth X Billion for NASA in some budget only the next week to cut that X billion down to a tenth or even fifth of what they had granted for it a week before.. so NASA simply has to make do with what the Lords of Congress (allegedly representing We The People whose heads are threatens by falling rocks) are reluctantly granting to them.

Once again, its not necessarily the Executive Branch side of the equation that is mainly stopping NASA from having so much more capacity and capability, it is CONGRESS.. the same one that can't even come up with an annual budget anymore to fund the operations of the Executive Branch, which they Congress have mandated that such Executive Branch is supposed to be responsible for getting done. This stands not just for the current president and his administration but all presidents of the past all the way back to Washington.

Why don't we hear similiar bitches about the ESA, or The Russian Space Agency, or the Japanese, or the Chinese, or the Indian? NASA is the favorite whipping boy, it seems world wide... and NASA can't really do anything that Congress hasn't funded it properly to get done. ANd that include the continued search for NEOs.

Of course the people of the American Public could busy themselves by putting together their own 'community' or private 12" mirrored telescopes for aiding in the HUMAN search for NEOs.. naw, too busy spending moneys on the next new "i-Toy" or Single Shooter kill-em dead video game.

What a stupid people world wide humans can sometimes be.

Yeah, just like the last major announcement that everyone here was certain was a doom announcement and then turned out to be nothing....

and just like the time before that...

and the time before that...

and on...

and on...

THIS IS GOING TO BE NOTHING OF PENDING DOOM!!!





Just more NASA song and dance (to justify what jobs they have left) with no need for you to start overreacting and fear mongering like GLP ALWAYS DOES!!

ELENIN will be exposed????

That's more like how they play the game. But in this case i think we will be here on Thur.

have you doom tards even read the article? apparently not!

Could you please take the little bit of time it takes to edit such cut and pastes into a more readable form before you hit 'post'?

I wish GLP had a TABLE function in its posting system.

^^^ THIS !!!! ^^^
