We're all going to die!!!

Oh, I saw Astrophysicist Dr. Tyson talk about this asteroid!

Always a pleasure to listen to Neil Degrasse Tyson, even if it's about the end of the world:

The last day of the Mayan calendar is on Friday, December 21, 2012.

There you go... happy now?

150 feet wide is definitely enough to destroy "large... tracts of land!"

Kinetic Energy:

1/2* mv^2

Kinetic energy of a moving object is much more dependent on the objects velocity. Not so much its size/mass.

It would all depend on how fast it came in. But really, 150 feet might become something more like 50ft after burning up and slowing down in the atmosphere.

"We're all going to die" ..... :thinking:

It doesn't matter. There will be no history left for mankind to remember.
It is just "That is't !"

 

[InfinitusEquitas]

Well, since you just HAD to disprove that one...

Here are some more.

Apparently one is coming up in May:na:

This Jesus guy is terrible with keeping appointments though... never shows up when he's supposed to it seems:shhh:

Watch my videos of Neil Degrasse Tyson, he talks about how this asteroid can devastate the entire west coast of North America. It is not just the size. It is also where it will hit. And the atmosphere can't burn a 150 feet rock to 50 ft. We don't have an atmosphere of Jupiter here my friend lool.

Well I'll be damn. This is way to close for comfort. This is assuming the math is right on it's trajectory. We can easily be toast with this one!

 

[danefex]

This laser is obviously the solution here.

 

[Fretwrecker94]

Missile? Meteor? What's the difference. This guy can handle it...

 

[lpstealth]

Nah we'll just stick bruce willis on an experimental airplane with a bunch of nut jobs, and some firecrackers.

It always works in the movies :tinfoil:

haha I watched that just 2 days ago.

 

[RyanElectro]

Or... let's all fire our >1W lasers at once into space at this pesky asteroid..

 

[LaZeRz]

Nuke it. Yeh. That's a good idea

 

[Tech_Junkie]

I think we should just throw a huge party, and what happens, happens.

 

[ped]

Or get Chuck Norris...with a tennis racket.


Problem solved.
