Ahh - there's nothing like a front-page, scare-the-shit-outta-you article to start your motor running in the morning, huh?
An asteroid with the power to unleash an explosion one hundred times greater than an atomic bomb has triggered global space agency alarms. The odds that the space rock dubbed Y4, which is nearly the size of a football field at between 130 and 300 feet wide, could hit Earth is now too close to ignore, they warn.
“If you put it over Paris or London or New York, you basically wipe out the whole city and some of the environs,” Bruce Betts, chief scientist of The Planetary Society, told Agence France-Presse last week.
Asteroids are the thing I fear the least. It will be over quick, not like this slow death brought by stupid people.
ReplyDeleteTranslation: give us money or bad things will happen.
ReplyDelete2032? I'll be gone by then anyway.
ReplyDeleteI fully expect this to be blamed on climate change or Trump...or climate change caused by Trump.
ReplyDeleteOr sent by God (who they don't believe exists) because people voted for Trump.
DeleteOh oh. Maybe it is that meteor that I was praying for to hit DC is arriving a bit late. Now that the corruption, massive as it still is, is starting to be cleaned up.
ReplyDeleteNothing some extra taxes can't prevent it from happening.
ReplyDeleteIs there some way NASA could steer it so it doesn’t miss DC? Asking for a friend.
ReplyDeleteThink of the musems!
DeleteWhy do they always think they'll hit NY or LA? Why not Las Cruces or Peoria?
ReplyDeleteAnd just before one does finally hit, think about all the war profiteering, and where the money could've been spent instead.
ReplyDeleteCould destroy Paris or London or New York? Got it! Is there a potential downside?
ReplyDeleteIf it hit Luton or Bradford, it would get rid of a lot more 'boat people' refugees.
DeleteCan I pick the city?
ReplyDeleteParis, London or NYC?
ReplyDeleteList a hit there as "Civic Improvements."
A 1 in 77 chance of hitting Earth. In 2032.
