Any opinions

[Bajjani]

can't wait

[Evil Goat]

by that time i will be close to 60....thats good enough for me

[R3RUN]

Lol, I just watched a special on meteors on the history channel tonight. If this does happen it should be cool to watch.

[Bajjani]

by then we'll have somethin to blow it up im sure

[jmmx258]

Hell I'll be over 40 by then! lol bring it on!!

"Paul Slovic, president of Oregon-based Decision Research, which studies judgment, decision-making and risk analysis, said the asteroid could take out an entire city or region. "

Wow, but it doesn't seem to state anything about world-wide death or a second ice age, so I guess they should just calculate where its gonna hit and the effects, once they do that then they should make decisions on moving the asteroid or not. Just my thoughts.

As far as that goes, that might be something to precise to try and dick with. Rather than try and aim it somewhere just "safer" like the ocean (I presume you were talking about doing), just do as the article said, launch a mission early and aim it completely away from the Earth.

Well, yeah kinda. It would depend on the size of the asteroid and all of that because even if the asteroid did hit the ocean, it would probably cause a HUGE wave that would wipe out the coasts of most continents and its another tsunami all over again. So yeah, lots of things to take into consideration, but the idea of taking care of it asap is the best one. Only problem would probably be how much it costs to do each mission, which is about $300 million, as the article states.

fuc* it we all going to die 1 day..hope i be in some buns when that happens...lol
:boobies: :cheers:

Yeah Its deffinetely an expensive move. It's hard to say what would happen and for the better or worse. They said it was 460 feet long...Thats big..but not big considering the size of the oceans. It could be, but then again couldn't be a safe thing to do. To me the best bet seems to launch the missin a.s.a.p. and have it avoid earth completley.

However They did say it was what? 1 in 45K chance of it hitting? I dont think that it would hit personally, but there's still that chance. Safe idea would be to launch, adn still give it more of a gap between it and us.

[1SICKLEX]

I'm gonna call the government and ask for 10 billion dollars so I can build a missle to blow that bitch up and save teh earth...

I'm need ya'll to build it while I count the money.. who is down? $20 an hour?

I might need to ask for 20 billion....

Lol hahahaha, so what part of the government would you be calling and what kind of missle are you building? $25 an hour and paid food expenses and I'm in. :goodjob: Lol

I agree, but then they also say there are more that they are trying to calculate the chances of them hitting and there tryna track them down and stuff...don't know how the hell they're gonna do that but if they can, power to them and use it. Lol.

How about $22 and I'll have the Hooters girls come cater for lunch?

[Stormhammer]

haha this asteroid again? something was on the news when they first found it like 5 or 6 years ago... I was in Middle School back then

[jmmx258]

They're planning on sending some sort of "craft" out there to pull this one aside of the earth. If they're spending the money for this, I don't see why they couldn't fit it with the tools needed to scan for these other's. They plan it taking around 12 days to move the current one. Thats a start. I don't see that happening though. I see them building 2 machines to send out one to move one, and the other scan.

[jmmx258]

Shit, I'm in!!! I'm good at blowin shit up!! Hell if there's a hole for the "explosion" to come out of, then it'll just go up. I guess the same principles will work! haha

[TIGERJC]

hopefully it takes out north korea or better yet we move so that is does hit north korea

[PhAtBoYMr2]

I figure by 2036 i'll have a beach house on the moon.

[Kyle]

They said the same thing was going to happen in 2000.

[AgentEasy]

just let it hit the middle east and call it a day

[Ran]

Astronomers are monitoring an asteroid named Apophis, which has a 1 in 45,000 chance of striking Earth on April 13, 2036.:eek:

I'm all for redirecting the asteroid but, when it crashes into Omicron Percei 8, we're really gonna be f*cked.

Nah in like 1996 some scientist or something predicted a meteor would hit the earth and a lot of people knew about it. But then a while letter they found out it was a miscalculation.
