    Earth Almost Put on Impact Alert. What if?

    Man this is interesting shit to read, what if the president had been notified and he had to give this speech warning us all. They say it was a pretty close call and they almost called him and he would have done it. That's crazy.

                  Actually, earth is long overdue for some sort of impact.. It's been well over three times the normal time period between major impacts..

                              I just think it would be interesting to see, I mean they would switch to live breaking news coverage on tv and be getting live reports tracking it and where it might hit and people would be freaking out. Think how tempted they would be to predict where it might hit to give warning time, so they say it looks like it might hit near St Louis, all the people there would freak, then it might hit somewhere else and they would have to change it . Just a lot of crazy shit.

                                      I don't know about the rest of you but I don't think I would want to know if something like this was going to happen. Think about other peoples reactions to this situation. Do you think people would spend thier last few hours on Earth making peace with each other and doing the things they wanted to do or do you think they would loot and riot? I would bet on the looting and rioting.

                                                      We done some pretty cool shit but ultimatly it is really nothing significant.
                                                      In all seriousness its somthing like this that will finish off the human race. Cuold be today, it could be tomarrow but ya know what?

                                                      We rather worry about filling our pockets with cash and kill each other than focus on humanities survival.

                                                      Wouldnt be to hard to set up some satelites with a bit of weaponry to divert this sorta disaster.

                                                      Nukes in Space do not work unless planted on the object so it can use the process that is the nature of fission.

                                                      Lasers maybe.

                                                      Who knows...

                                                          Yeah but if you read the story it's not talking about a impact so large that it would destroy everything, they were talking about a minor impact that would kill several thousand people. That's why it's scary, of course if the world was about to end they might not say, but if they were tracking and saw something might hit a certain spot and kill thousands of people they have to let everyone know.

That's why it's scary, of course if the world was about to end they might not say, but if they were tracking and saw something might hit a certain spot and kill thousands of people they have to let everyone know.
                                                                          True.

                                                                          It's weird to imagine being told the impact could happen within a 200 mile radius from where you live and it would affect everyone living within a 50 mile radius of the impact. Now you don't know if you should stay where you're at or try to leave and hope you go in the opposite direction from where the impact would occur.

It's bullshit to spend trillions exploring Mars when we don't have a way to shoot down asteroids. Fuck finding a new place for the super rich to live, let's save the place we have.
