If it isn't cancer or anthrax.. it's asteroids we gotta worry about.

:( I'm a sheep.

MassiveCock has taken over your PC klik.. :1orglaugh

baaahh baaahh

I have a massive what? :thumbsup

I celebrate every time a yuppie dies!

There is nothing to worry about.
No asteroids are expected to hit earth any time soon.

Technology is improving at a very fast pace. In the future when an asteroid does come, I bet people can handle it.

Frog can you ICQ me please? I have a question for you. 10738392

I found it interesting how it said some of the larger asteroids have thier own moons. :1orglaugh

:thumbsup

This is just like everything else:

No problems renting rider trucks until oklahoma city
No attention given to 9/11 style attacks until after 9/11
No attention given to biological defense [and still not enough now] until after the anthrax attacks.
No attention will be given to asteroids until one hits. Or comes close enough that we need to do something about it.

It isn't like it hasn't happened before - there have been several that have passed closer than the moon in recent history - and one that destroyed 800 square miles in 1908.

Oh well - one big enough to wipe out the state of new jersey only comes along every 100 years or so....

<>Pea-size meteroids--10/hr
<>Walnut-size--1/hr
<>Grapefruit-size--1/10 hrs
<>Basketball-size--1/mo
<>50-m rock that would wipe out an area the size of New Jersey--1/century
<>1-km asteroid--1/100,000 yrs
<>2-km asteroid--1/500,000 yrs
<>A "nemesis" parabolic comet impactor would give us only a 6-month warning.

I think I have read something like 6 out of 7 hit the ocean.

Amazing that something that small can cause that much damage.

We are?

I heard that somewhere to, but I can't remember where.

i will never die! :1orglaugh

Dying is for pussies.

I'm too busy to die.

"About one in six of the discovered large asteroids have moons, which complicates any effort to change their orbital paths."

That's crazy.

I agree that a national effort should be put in place.

No way man... I'm staying alive... Just like John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever baby !!!

:thumbsup

I already died.

i´m dead on the inside.

we can only hope
