Binary Asteroid Didymos heading our way, but they're going to intercept it!

Is this a test for predictted Apophis' Earth Encounters in 2029 and 2036?


A joint mission between Europe and the US is working on a project to slam a spacecraft into an asteroid in 2022, in a bid to prove that incoming objects from space can be knocked off path and stopped from colliding with earth.

ESA's proposed Asteroid Impact and Deflection Assessment mission now has a target: asteroid Didymos.

The recent Russian meteor and, on the same day, our planet's close encounter with an even larger chunk of celestial debris underline the need for us to learn more about these high-speed space rocks.

yeah to learn, or it's time for a battle lol

They needed that push on Feb.15 to finally start talking

pffft

They work on it for the last two years at least

but now the target is "official"

Planetary Defense is a concept very few people heard of or took seriously – that is until last week's humongous and totally unexpected meteor explosion over Russia sent millions of frightened residents ducking for cover, followed just hours later by Earth's uncomfortably close shave with the 45 meter (150 ft) wide asteroid named 2012 DA14.

all these news in just last few days!

go figure!

Moscow believes an operable national defense against threats from outer space can be built within 10 years’ time.

The 500-kiloton explosion of a space bolide above the Urals region has sped-up allocation of some $2 billion to prevent future threats.

They asked many times from others to join and contribute but others are to busy making wars with each other and instability in the world obviously.

Many thanks for the PIN

yet another way to raise taxes...

Asteroid threat is growing by the year

“There are a lot of asteroids orbitingclose to Earth and every year up to 1,000 more are being discovered,” Lidia Rykhlova said, specifying that three years ago the number of known asteroids passing close to our planet was about 7,000 and now their number has grown up to around 9,400.

Most of the relatively large asteroids, with a diameter of one kilometer and larger are already known.

“We know about 90 per cent of kilometer-class asteroids, their orbits are well known and predictable. As for the smaller 40-50 meter ones – we still have insufficient observation apparatus. The more we observe – the more of them we find,” Rykhlova acknowledged.

If the space object is discovered beforehand, at least a month prior to possible collision with Earth, there is time to find out its size and consider various measures of its elimination.

The execution of a really complicated operation will require at least a year, Rykhlova pointed out.

“Therefore our emergency aid is a rocket with a nuclear warhead,” she concluded.

It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

Slaming asteroids will do nothing as at HI speed mater acts as LIQUID ...



At 2:03 you can see bullets impacted by other objects tend not to be deviated as they act alike LIQUIDS on impact

The only solution is to AQUIRE the object and place a thruster rocked attached to it a slow constant burning one so energy can be transfered efficiently to it and not be dissipated kineticaly .

just ignore it and it will go away

I remember a month or two ago on the dailymail an article about this...

See that no deceives you... the warning Jesus left...

I say this because I am certain this is another Hoax of Werner Von Braun... And after the asteroid fear we get the evil Aliens threat that Reagan explained in the UN... and then it will be to late to wake up.

As long people believe MSN, they will be lost... That broad road leads to death.

In order, von Braun warned of the following:

1. Russian and the Cold War
2. Terrorists
3. 3rd World Countries / Rogue Nations / Nations of Concern
4. Asteroids
5. Extraterrestrial Threat

the asteroid card:

After the comet hits Mars, there will be far too many new close asteroids to track. Earth is sure to get bombarded within a few months.

Yes, there were "rumours" about it in the mainstream media but noting was official until the last week.

AIDA is a low-budget international effort that would send two small craft to intercept a double target.
While one probe smashes into the smaller asteroid at around 6.25 km/s, the other records what happens.

One effect would be a change in the orbital ballet of the two objects. AIDA is not intended to show how we could deflect an asteroid that threatens Earth but it would be a first step.

and that's pretty interesting statement, isn't it?!


In other words they even don't know what effect might produce and disturbance in so far safe passage of the tandem?!

Like a lottery

i say we nuke it. then if it breaks into large fragments, we nuke them, repeat until the fragments are acceptably small. what? we cant do that? why? better than stashing 10's of thousands of nukes everywhere for use on eachother, isnt it?

Threats from outer space ehh....10 years to complete ehh?

Who wants to bet that system will be built with urgency and not slowly as in peace time.



I feel the great space war is coming

This planet will be swiss cheese in 10 years time.

The American Meteor Society reported 694 sightings in 2009, 954 in 2010, 1628 in 2011, 2192 in 2012, and 450 so far in 2013. See any pattern there? It's clear something is up in our neck of the galaxy.

All of the recent sightings have obviously been over inhabited land. Much of the planet is not even habited, so imagine how many are really happening. That should give you some idea of the quantity of material raining down on the planet at this time. There is a reason The Thugs in Charge have underground bunkers.

waiting for bettedaviseyes to pop in ...

It is very odd that NASA would choose an asteroid that is orbiting a larger asteroid for this test.

or that they would call it Didymos

I'm not sure if anyone else has said it, but I do believe it is a test.

One which will prove vital in 2029 when Apophis arrives.

that video is really cool.
could watch it all day. ty

Yes, thanks for the feedback, I did in my second post

cool, I'm just not sure about that - space-based UFO

One of these two crafts will be actually a bomb and another if survives will just send pictures and data.

2022 is too late. Earth is going to get pummeled by space debris when that Oct. 2014 comet hits Mars.
