OldManRivah User ID: 34448635 United States 02/15/2013 08:35 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to news.yahoo.com] Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34004518 Russia's space agency Roscosmos said the meteorite was travelling at a speed of 30 km (19 miles) per second and that such events were hard to predict. 30km per SECONDS peeps. That is 30 x 60 x 60 = 108000 km per HOUR. Convert that to Mach speed, divide by 1225.03 = You get MACH 88.1 DO YOU HAVE ANY FUCKING IDEA HOW FAST MACH 88.1 is ?!!! YOU GOT ANYTHING approaching even 1/5th of that speed? Or even 1/10th of it?! Speed is irrelevant. We landed on the Moon. How fast is the Moon traveling through space . . .

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 566027 Would not catch up to it if fired from BEHIND it; but could theoretically nail it if coming from 45 degrees either side of center, distances depending. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 566027 Correct .. .maybe not 45 degrees, but, head on. Hell I could hit it with my Paint ball if I was good enough . . .lol! Country Boys Can Survive! |
