I have a special connection to this place, and so do you. The powers that be have kept this from you. There is actually life still there, but mars has been destroyed once before, but for different reasons. Say farewell to your brothers and sisters. We have had one way trip researchers there since to 1970's. Say farewell to them as well.

Re: BREAKING NEWS --- Mars to be hit by massive comet! 40 billion nuke bomb size explosion! CONFIRMED!
Ask yourself this - why all of a sudden are we being pointed to Martian mega doom in 2014?????

Is it because someone wants our attention diverted away from something more imminent here on earth? Even Astro is pushing this Mars 2014 hit.

Why?? Because something is coming here very soon, as in 2013 - gotta divert our attention and keep us from panicking. They don't realize we are big boys and can handle the truth
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 18713240


I don't think this is a rational response to Dr. Astro's post; he essentially has given us all the heads up on what could be the most important celestial event in human history and you're really the first of the Earth's 6 billion people to be aware of it.

An impact of this size on our neighbor planet will have huge scientific, socio-political, emotional, and migratory (if the impact stirs up an atmosphere et al.) implications for humanity. These potentials are are far more real and important than ones unsupported fear of misdirection.

The core of the comet will be moving 56 kilometers per sec when it smashes into Mars. The explosion it creates will be equal to 40 BILLION 500kt nuclear bombs(avg US and Russ arsenal weapon) going off at once, or 20 billion megatons of TNT, or 1.33 trillion Hiroshima bombs, or 1.3 billion Castle Bravo explosions. Its enough to kill all life on the planet if any were living there.

Astronomers predict a large-scale disaster on the Red Planet in October 2014, when a comet may ram into Mars, creating a 500-kilometer crater, the website of the Russian observatory ISON-NM said.
[link to english.pravda.ru]


comet core 30 miles across
collision speed 35 miles per second (126,000 miles per hour)

It may make Mars temporarily as bright as the sun. The crater left behind will be 500 kilometers across. A lot of rock will be ejected into space and become stray asteroids. This will be an epic event.

He's a retard and so are you.
Nobody can really know how much water is in
any particular comet.
Is is all ice through and through or is it
iron encased in ice.
The best people in the field are just guessing.

NASA is gonna be pissed that billions of $$$ is going to be vapourised within seconds. Would make for a hell of a show though, and a good indicator of what effect an object that size would have on hitting Earth (assuming it hits Mars).
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34327655


Just the thing that may make Mars habitable when the dust settles. Melt those ice caps. Bring out that frozen underground water. Yeah, Baby, YEAH!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75950


Actually it would more likely send up enough dust and gas to blanket the entire planet and block out sunlight which would cause a deep freeze for several yrs...

You guys realize how improbable this is.... right, so now if one also comes for earth, there is literally no place that humans could hide.....

Makes you wonder....
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34027613


It is COMPLETELY probable.
That it happened 65 million years ago and tens of
thousands of times before that and yet has
abated/not happened bigtime in the last 65 million
years IS improbable.
The universe becomes less exciting and more predictable
with each passing year, but there are still
100's of millions of long period comets and potential
comets out there, any one of which could be THE ONE.

 Quoting: UNkLE |3UCK


A strike would produce gobs of heat, converting solid carbon dioxide in the ground to gas.
CO2 is not a primary greenhouse gas, but it could raise the temps on Mars.
Average temp now on Mars is -67 degree F.
How much could an impact producing gobs of heat and a
carbon dioxide atmosphere raise the temps to? Who knows?
Depends on the size of the impactor, its speed and its angle of impact.

Now THAT my friend IS a good question.

Dr.AstroMutt paging our own DrAstroMutt,
I realize you did not say it WOULD strike
Mars, but if it were to strike Mars would
Mars be closest or farthest from Earth or
can that be determined this far out?
