2012 DA14 WILL hit earth.. Confirmed.

Come'on.. he talked to someone from MIT..
That's gotta be worth something..

I completely disagree.

millions wouldn't

U-stream link. All the bsflaggers should be gone now.

If, and that's a big IF, OP actually did talk to someone from MIT AND that person is accomplished in advanced gravitational computations AND the computations accurately predicted, with 100% certainty, an imminent collision with Earth. Otherwise, not "CONFIRMED."

Just sayin WB,

Peace

As far as I have seen bans are just a way of producing subscribers and money for the site.

Come on.. It's the difference between sitting in a lecture..
or going to a rock concert..

Absolutely...
But it is the remote possibility that it could happen
that is exciting.. not the probability that it won't.
Thread is a success from that view..

If you want to split hairs.. he talked with someone who CONFIRMED it..
Thread title is correct.

Doesn't mean it's going to happen.

Millions are stupid.

agreed, but the sentiment holds true. entertainment trumps knowledge for the masses. everytime.

:kick:

listen...the so called "doctor" tried several times to tell us VENUS is NOT brighter than it was say 20 years ago....every single person who was over the age of 5 in 1993 can see it is CLEARLY much brighter...that was it for me...the guys a SHILL...nothing more,nothing less...always trying so hard to de-bunk every single possibility....that has nothing to do with science just extreme shilling...or an extremely narrow minded arrogant individual...pick ur poison ASTRO!!


fact is....this thing COULD possibly impact earth....astro is going off numbers and orbital data given to him by NASA for fuck sakes/.....ever think maybe that data is skewed???.....open ur pea sized brain to the POSSIBILITY that maybe just MAYBE....an impact is theoretically POSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!

My cousin's friend just spoke to his uncle who works at NASA and confirmed this.

Millions are stupid.

Com'on, do the math. north west texas is what i come up with!!!!

Trust me, if there weren't millions of stupid people, there would be no Hollywood.

You wouldn't understand.

A newly discovered asteroid called 2012 DA14 will pass so close to Earth in February that it might hit a communications satellite, scientists say.
"That's very unlikely, but we can't rule it out," said Paul Chodas, a planetary astronomer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California.

On February 15 a chunk of rock about 50 meters wide will whiz by Earth at nearly 8 km/s, coming within 27,680 km of our planet’s surface — closer than many weather and communications satellites.
For those of you more comfortable with imperial units, that’s 165 feet wide traveling 17,800 mph coming within 17,200 miles. But regardless whether you prefer meters or miles, in astronomy that’s what’s called a close call.

Here is what I think will happen. They have known about this Asteroid for close to a year and have been tracking it ever since.

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. If it does hit a satellite or two there could be some serious communication problems, ie. GPS systems go down, etc.

My other concern is, as it departs what sort of pull will it put on our planet. I'm going on earthquake watch after DA14 makes its closest approach.

Here are some sites to watch.

Don't panic! Maybe Trin will turn on the telescope for us so we can all sit back and watch the show.

It's because he knows stuff.

Dark, scary stuff.

Leave it to you to cite one of only three exceptions.

10 -12,000 km per second.. not hour...

Are those the calculations?

Com'on, do the math. north west texas is what i come up with!!!!
