i think a lot of peeps dont realize nothing other than vacate the area can be done.
funny talking about this with friends they were saying the other asteroid which was much bigger, if it had any threat we would "just shoot it down".
i giggled on the inside, yeah Bruce Willis is standing by.
we have no weapons to take down an asteroid traveling at those speeds.

Speeds and sizes. This one was like a 5-level house rock of metal. I don't think it's even theoretically possible to "shoot it down"

but no radiation effect... weird

Radiation effect? It's only got the power of X atom bombs, and has nothing to do with the radiation of the bombs! WTF dude?! Do you think it was a huge ball of flying U238 or something? Oooh, maybe it was dropped from a Russian attack satellite? Now there's a conspiracy theory!
