NORAD On Heightened Alert...Let's speculate why
 

http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=50891

Sheesh, we have NORAD on alert and no explanation, the space shuttle about to launch, an asteroid passing by, and North Korea threatening to launch a missle.

Okay, here's how it goes:

The N. Koreans shoot the missle off to hit the asteroid in an attempt to send it hurtling toward the U.S., the shuttle goes up, uses new onboard lasers to shoot the Korean missle down. They hit the Korean missle but don't destroy it. It hits the asteroid but instead of deflecting it toward the earth it heads toward N. Korea instead.

Wouldn't that be something!

Damn, that's fucked up.



Maybe some kid that wanted to play thermo-nuclear war hacked into NORAD's computers. :1orglaugh

What a backdoor to a military central computer impossible!

My bets on the Asteroid, Shit it's coming as close as the moon.

didnt the asteroid go by yesterday ?

You know, I've asked expert after expert what about THE FUCKING MOON GETTING HIT BY A MASSIVE ASTEROID and all they do is just sit there shit faced confused.

If a big ass asteroid hit the moon, it could kick up an assload of debris the likes of which we'd be unprepared for.

If any of the nearby planets got hit with planet killers like those comets that hit Jupiter a few years ago it would be fucked up.

roflrofl

OOH! I can't believe nobody's posted this here yet!

It's an Oldie-But-Goodie... It takes forever to load... But it's SO relevant today!

I'm going to take a long nap.

I'll spoon you... :winkwink:

Don't worry.. The asteroid is gone now.. It passed this morning.

Large Asteroid Zips Harmlessly Past Earth

LOS ANGELES - A large asteroid hurtled harmlessly past the Earth early Monday at a distance of about 269,000 miles _ slightly farther away than the moon.

Residents with telescopes in the United States and Canada had the best view of 2004 XP14, which appeared as a streaking dot in the northern sky.

Astronomers tracking the space rock's path since its discovery in 2004 had determined that it would pose no risk to Earth during the encounter nor in the next 100 years. Judging by its brightness, 2004 XP14 was estimated to be a quarter-mile to a half-mile wide.

An asteroid that size, if it smashed into Earth, would probably cause regional destruction. Scientists have said it would take a mile-wide or larger asteroid to cause widespread devastation that could threaten civilization.

Bush must have gotten a hardon again from watching things blow up.

Bush = Boob maybe??!?!?!

Bush = Boob maybe??!?!?!

See? I told ya them N Korean Missiles and the Space Shuttle would be tied in together! Sheesh!

Too bad the N Koreans bought their missile technology from ACME.

that would be a neat party trick :)

Man, it's a good thing that N. Korea is no where near the Earth! :upsidedow

This is a theory.

:1orglaugh I love you stu. In a manly way of course:)

don't those things travel in packs?

Yes, they get free coupons if they travel in pack.

But no, they don't.

One would assume that to have a "backdoor" worth anything it would have to be connected to the Internet. Let's hope that every military computer is not connected to the Internet.

and that the fuckers aren't searching russian porn sites and get infected with coolwebsearch :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

:error

Maybe the alert is also because (according to my 3-year old grandaughter)Santa Claus is training the reindeers---perhaps they got off course and an alert was sounded at Norad????????:-)))))))

Dave

that sounds like the most reasonable explanation in this thread. :thumbsup

No, you guys know I called it. They would launch those missiles when they sent the shuttle up. Just to scare people.
