2012 DA14 WILL hit earth.. Confirmed. | |
| Dr. Astro Not to be confused with Phil Plait User ID: 4211721 02/07/2013 11:05 AM ![]() Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It will not hit the earth, but what it might do is take out a few satellites which hopefully will burn up as they fall back into the atmosphere. Quoting: CowgirlK It would be extremely unlikely that it would hit any, but if it did the debris would be at very high altitudes and remain up there for millenia. That's the real problem, in fact. Don't panic! Maybe Trin will turn on the telescope for us so we can all sit back and watch the show. Quoting: cowgirlThe wrong side of earth will be facing the close approach unfortunately. ![]() |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 5594945 For fun sakes, say it were to hit....in your best calculations, where would it land? Thanks man... Oh, and if you disagree then may I direct you to the guy who keeps threatening my life who posted on the forum again today. Dr. Astro--You know I'm just having fun with you, right? I am truly sorry you have had a threat like this--it is truly chilling. I actually just came in to remind you to pace yourself today. I know you'll be here with the NASA Panel discussion today at 2:00 PM EST--should be very interesting. Be sure to pee...that old prostrate thing, remember! lol! Will watch the debate, hope it doesn't get too nasty...but hey, that's GLP for ya! Regards. Cheers! SK ![]() "LIFE is a wonderful, wonderful OPERA...escept it hurts! J.

Thanks Astro! As you know, it's amazing how much space junk is circling the planet. As far as the approach goes, I wish it was on our side. Wouldn't it be cool if NASA could embed a cam on the asteroid so our eyes could hitch a ride into space. :) |

User ID: 27028191 02/07/2013 11:17 AM ![]() Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My research has convinced me meteor danger is the biggest threat mankind has experienced. We are enjoying relative quiet at the moment but we are certain to relive the passage of a swarm. Since these things have enormously long orbits their visits are seldom - but terrible when they happen. 40 cities were destroyed by meteors in the Bronze Age. Quoting: Kirk My thoughts as well. Have you heard of a famous so called "rogue astronomer/psychiatrist" named Immanuel Velokosvsky? He has some interesting things to say about our "hidden past"--have a couple of his videos posted on my threads. He was friends with Einstein and old E. was said to have been reading "Worlds in Collision" on his death bed.... so you know E. took the guy seriously. His book called: "World in Collision" was made popular again in the 1990's by Sitchin--the fellow who brought us the info on the alien origins and the Ananaki. The new movie "Promethius" is based losely on some of Sitchin and Velokovsky's work. Long and short of it...Yeah...we've been hit before... we will be hit again. Just hope you aren't the flea on the dog's back who gets the first dusting of flea powder, right? Cheers! SK ![]() "LIFE is a wonderful, wonderful OPERA...escept it hurts! J.

| Here_For_Donuts User ID: 24797199 02/07/2013 11:33 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The gravitational pull of the earth will in fact pull this baby in. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 7052443 The impact site is unknown . The scientific data has purposely been altered to cover this story up. Even certain shills on this website have gone far enough to post trumped up data on this in the form of youtube video, and this person(s) are part of the cover up. I know a few people on the higher up scale that said it was orginally not supposed to hit but it has been confirmed their data was dead wrong. Lets just hope this thing doesnt land in a highly populated area. Your government will hold an emergency broadcast 2 days before the event. godspeed everyone.. i hope we get through this. Don't worry. DA14 - even if it does hit - is not large enough to destroy the planet. At an estimated mass of 130k metric tons, it would produce the equivalent of 2.4 megatons of TNT. And considering most of the Earth's surface is water, it's likely to strike there instead of dry land. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 15885814 02/07/2013 11:45 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sorry, dude, it is way too fast for the gravitation to pull in and hit. Its parameters have been staying very stable. It had never been broadcasted if it had any slight bit of chance to hit the earth, following their rule. But, DA14 visits the earth every year, so we have to wait until next year. And, who knows what will happen? |

He said the strategy that was being used to educate the public and decision makers was to use scare tactics That was how we identify an enemy. The strategy that Wernher Von Braun taught me was that first the Russians are going to be considered to be the enemy. In fact, in 1974, they were the enemy, the identified enemy. We were told that they had "killer satellites". We were told that they were coming to get us and control us-that they were "Commies." Then terrorists would be identified, and that was soon to follow. We heard a lot about terrorism. Then we were going to identify third-world country "crazies." We now call them Nations of Concern. But he said that would be the third enemy against whom we would build space-based weapons. The next enemy was asteroids. Now, at this point he kind of chuckled the first time he said it. Asteroids- against asteroids we are going to build space-based weapons. And the funniest one of all was what he called aliens, extraterrestrials. That would be the final scare. And over and over and over during the four years that I knew him and was giving speeches for him, he would bring up that last card. "And remember Carol, the last card is the alien card. We are going to have to build space-based weapons against aliens and all of it is a lie." - Carol Rosin |
