    Default Asteroid gonna kill us?

    So there's this rock floatin around out there and it's not gonna kill us, so they say. In 2029, that sucker's gonna pass between the earth and the moon and as close as some satelites. Lets hope it takes out an ESPN satelite, right ladies? Whoo hooo! So anyways, they say the gravity of the earth is going to push it away, rather than suck it in and decimate the sad little peoples of... wherever. But I tell you this, my friends, judgement day is upon us. It's gonna be rocks for supper and dirt for dinner, which has about the same flavor as Amber's cookin. Just kidding. She just hit me. She's monitoring me right now. Oh, and she called me a "fucker". Man, maybe I should be nicer, it's V-day after all. But to get to the point, Amber says that this asteroid isn't even going to come close, I beg to differ. I mean, in galactic terms, that sucker's gonna be right in our back yard. So, my question is this...

    If an asteroid was found to be plummetting toward the earth from the abyss of our own solar system, then would they really tell us if it was gonna hit earth? I mean, let's say that a gaggle of physicists decide that it's going to land in the heart of some podunk town in Wyoming, would it be wise of them to warn those people? They'd flip out and go live with thier cousins/husbands in the next town over and next thing you know, town #2 would be smashed by some giant hunk of burnin love. Now, that's twice as many people dead, all because Stevie Hawking misplaced a decimal point. So, listen up, if we're going down, we're going down without the knowledge it's coming. Just keep your internet searches warm on how many astrophysicists are moving out of your neighborhood. Cause if you see a mass exodus, you might be inclined to join them. So that's that, and fyi. Here's a link to the wonderful article that Amber has enlightened me with.

    Asteroids miss us all the time. A rather hefty one passed within a distance shorter than from the Earth to the Moon just a couple of years ago.

    Regardless - your only question is "would they really tell us". A bit difficult to answer...I can't read my own wife's mine, much less that of scientists in the future.

    All that aside...what the HELL are you smokin'???

    2028, and it will miss us by a cosmological bulletburn. 200,000 miles. Still a reason to worry, but it VERY likely won't strike home.

    In the case it does, it's not as big as the one that pwned the dinosaurs, and we can nuke stuff. So we have some edge.

    We have a few million years before Nemesis passes into the Oort clous again, assuming nemesis exists. Either way the Earth's comet shower is a long way off.

    The NEO you mention is a serious cause for concern, though. 200,000 miles is insanely close cosmologically speaking.

    No.. An asteroid will not hit us. It's impossible, since we have Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck on our side!

    All kidding aside, I think we'll be alright.

    If one is seen headed our way...on a collision course, we'll all hear about it. Trust me. If there is one thing that scientists can't do, it is to keep secrets.

    Absolutely right, Ww. It'd be a race to see who published first.

    Bah. Asteroid, smashteroid. You know how this is going to end don't you?

    Homer: "So there's a commet. Big deal. It'll burn up in our atmosphere and whatever's left will be no bigger than a Chihuahua's head."

    Bart: "Wow, dad. Maybe you're right."

    Homer: "Of course I'm right. If I'm not may we all be horribly crushed from above somehow."

    The the comet burns up to no bigger than a Chihuahua's head and Bart puts it in his pocket.

    Lisa: I can't believe that extra-thick layer of pollution that I've actually picketed against burned up the comet.

    Bart: But what's really amazing, is that this is EXACTLY what Dad said would happen.

    Lisa: Yeah, Dad was right.

    Homer: I know, kids. I'm scared too!
