Desert Fox  User ID: 8786935 United States02/29/2012 07:28 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | but we dont need to fire nukes at it cant we fire hydrogen bombs instead? with no nucular fall out Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1528887 best scenario is to use jet thrusters and gradually move the object past impact zone...only problem is seeing it coming in time to get a crew prepped, ship up..and in place far enough out to do the job... Peace You watch far to much TV. :TOMABANEFOX: It's more humane this way ya know, or burn on totem pole. Choice is yours. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 4872626 Nasa has identified a new asteroid threat to our planet and calculated that it could potentially impact on February 5th 2040. The 2011 AG5 has already attracted the concern of the UN Action Team on near-Earth objects, which has begun discussing ways to divert it. [link to www.dailymail.co.uk] "The giant rock, known as AG5, has an elliptical orbit" noooo, this one too?  |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 11081847 United States02/29/2012 07:38 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Why is that? While it may be almost 3 times the size as the one that OP listed, I'm not concerned about either. Apophis is 'only' 300m wide, but it had a near-miss in 2004, (dropped from front page headlines due to Tsunami), however, it will pass ..roughly..36000 kms from earth (from memory).. It will come past us in 2029, when we will find out if it will hit us 7 years later, as it will be pulled into a gravity well and certain impact 7 years later.. estimates of 10million deaths, blah blah... April 13 2036..to me, this is the most likely impact from what i can see...if we get that far.. Peace Right. What I meant was I just don't see either being an Armageddon type scenario. I'm sure many will die as a result and many more injured or homeless, but end of the world nah. World wide economy would collapse depending on where it strikes. NYC? London? Look what happened when the planes hit WTC building... |

Not worried......that's how long from now? Who cares? "Live each day like it's your last, love like you've never been hurt, and dance like no one is watching." GO PATS!! :Go Patriots!: |
