You almost died Saturday - "Earth Just Narrowly Missed..."

Wonder how an asteroid got inside the dome which all these 'flat earthers " are talking about ?
I can only guess that some of the angles were playing catch and one of them dropped it.
I hope they are more careful in the future.

Heading is excessively sensational for an asteroid 50-100 feet in size.

And passing by at >50,000 miles.
Wow , if some folks went to the RSOE website and looked at objects passing by the Earth every single day....

please pardon the silly question, but even if we knew of a giant rock heading straight for us, what can we do about it? Bruce Willis is getting a bit long in the tooth these days.

Send Harrison Ford.

It wasn't big enough to cause worldwide death, just localized destruction. The estimate was 50-100ft, or about the size that caused the Tunguska explosion.

If I were out in the middle of an ocean, where it probably would hit if it hit, and somehow zero'd in on me, then yes, I almost died. More likely I would have been dazzled by the huge fireball screaching overhead, momentarily distracting me from wondering what I was doing in the middle of an ocean.

However, it's equally as likely I almost hit the lottery, as I didn't buy a ticket.

50-100ft?

Bring it. I'll take my chances.

What a title thou... lol

Not the size that would be considered an ELE event maker...

Prepare for it. If we have enough time...and if the population is being told. Because we´re all dumb sheep.

You would be crushed by the rising atmospheric pressure and vaporized with the water and ocean floor, before you could look up or hear anything.

a reply to: verschickter

nope... It's wasn't nearly big enough for something like that to happen.

Nice sonic boom and a wave maybe?

Its ok the Siberian Cauldron missile defence systems will keep us safe!

But he's always been long in the philtrum.

To quote The Fonz.... "EXACTAMUNDO"

We didn't die this Saturday, but some Saturday.... or Tuesday... or whatever, I'm sure planning on it.

a reply to: Zarniwoop

Oh, I still had a big one in mind, my fault. Yes, that small one would not be as devastating as a 1.5km asteroid doing 20.000km/h.

a reply to: Tempter

Nope, I'm pretty sure we didn't.



The (air) force is with us! Or the navy?
Who on Ceres cares anyway.

I knew it, Bruce Willis did it again!

Saturday?

Really?

See!

Doing laundry kept my mind off of Armageddon.

Phew.

Now, if I could only get the damned stain out!!!

a reply to: roadgravel

Explain.

a reply to: pl3bscheese

A meteor of that size isn't going to do enough damage to destroy a large part of life on Earth.

Much more likely that somebody will kill me with their car.

We laugh because it missed.This time.What I can't understand is why the all countries cant work together for even a rudimentary planetary defense system against a ELE (Extinction level event)is beyond me.Maybe we deserve it?The few left alive won't be arguing politics then.I guarantee you..
