Russian scientists will soon meet in secret to work on a plan for saving Earth from a possible catastrophic collision with a giant asteroid in 26 years, the head of Russia's space agency said Wednesday.

"We will soon hold a closed meeting of our collegium, the science-technical council to look at what can be done" to prevent the asteroid Apophis from slamming into the planet in 2036, Anatoly Perminov told Voice of Russia radio.

"We are talking about people's lives," Perminov was quoted by news agencies as telling the radio station.

"Better to spend a few hundred million dollars to create a system for preventing a collision than to wait until it happens and hundreds of thousands of people are killed," he said.

The Apophis asteroid measures approximately 350 metres (1,150 feet) in diameter and RIA Novosti news agency said that if it were to hit Earth when it passes nearby in 2036 it would create a new desert the size of France.

Perminov said a serious plan to prevent such a catastrophe would probably be an international project involving Russian, European, US and Chinese space experts.

NASA initially estimated the energy that Apophis would have released if it struck Earth as the equivalent of 1,480 megatons of TNT. A later, more refined NASA estimate was 880 megatons.[2] The impacts which created the Barringer Crater or the Tunguska event are estimated to be in the 3–10 megaton range[17] The 1883 eruption of Krakatoa was the equivalent of roughly 200 megatons

In Egyptian mythology, Apep (also spelled Apepi, and Aapep, or Apophis in Greek) was an evil demon, the deification of darkness and chaos (isfet in Egyptian), and thus opponent of light and Ma'at (order/truth)




All available info tells us that this thing has a 4/1,000,000 chance of hitting us but initially it was 1 in 37.... is there something we dont know they are not telling us that would make them take the serious step of spending millions or billions of dollar to figure out a way to deflect it 20 years before it gets to us......?



Your thoughts?

How great it would be to have the ability to deflect any incomming threat with good behavior, meaning EARTHS avg. energy is existing @ 60% positive energy and 40% negative then its a close miss. But if EARTHS negative energy was @ 80% and positive energy @ 20% basically its a rap. Good way to manage the universe, um just sayen BE HAVE as a whole and mabey they will be misdirected back into space misbehave and you center in the crosshairs.
