Knowing my luck I'd spend the next 16 years building a underground shelter like that guy did on "Secret Passages" and it'll hit right dab on top of me.
I just did the math. If it hits it'll be traveling at approx. 62,634 mph, almost Mach 88! I'm guessing the Earth's atmosphere starts around 80,000 ft. From the time it hit the atmosphere to the time of impact, would be approx. .00024 seconds. Doubt much of that 2km wide mass would even have time to burn off. |

2 km wide isnt very big. only 1.24 miles. Small of enough to nuke the shit out of and not be a threat, this isnt a teotwawki thing if you ask me I wouldnt be worried they said the margin of error is 10's of millions of km.

I also suspect we will have the delivery systems capable of striking such a target by that time.

I love how they build it up and build it up, to make people panic, and then put something like this in:
Although astronomers are saying the object definitely merits attention, they expect more observations to show it is not on an Earth-intersecting trajectory. So who knows what to believe. -Gloftoe |

They say impact would be enough to wipe out a continent. Wonder which one of the 7 would get it. Hitting the ocean would still be a bitch for those near coastal waters.

Do not waste the effort. Your silly evil guns will have been confiscated long before you get the chance to use them in one of these doomsday scenarios. |

Quoted: How big was the asteroid that hit Siberia a few years ago? and how many square miles of trees did it know down? And big is this one again? The Tunguska Event in 1907 if memory serves has, as a hypothetical postulation only, been placed at being a mostly ice body that weiged in at just a few hundred tons. They have found signs of impact, but there is no evidence of meteor stone/iron to be found and no crater per se. You can still see the devastation from the air. |

That being said, isn't it funny that in high-level UN and US financial documents pertaining to the 3rd world the phrases "Road Warrior society, and "Road Warrior chaos" show up so frequently. Maybe life imitates art. And why are these intelligentsia so turned on by a B grade cult classic? |

I don't remember how much forest was flattened either, but the event was in Tunguska, Siberia in 1908. No one knows the size of it because it never impacted, so no one knows its composition or mass. It did not impact because atmospheric friction caused it to explode above the ground. There was no crater just the trees laid down from a center point out. [:)] |

Hey, your HONOR:
Couple of things I've been meaning to ask you: 1) How do you even have the balls to run for re-election. I can't imagine a chimpanzee doing a piss-poorer job of running a state into the ground. And that's an insult to the chimp. 2) Have you ever had a real job in your whole miserable existence. You had better hope the world as we know it never changes; career politicians will probably be the first extinct species. Have a nice day, Desert Diz Oh, and remember to turn the lights out when you leave, you schmuck. |

Have a nice day, Desert Diz Oh, and remember to turn the lights out when you leave, you schmuck. My humble answers: 1.) I am the best governor in the history of this state. Millions of educated, critically thinking voters have affirmed that. Get with the times. If you continue to insult monkeys I will report you for animal cruelty. 2.)What do you do sir? Fighting off the hordes of evil corrupt corporations who are led by people who probably pimp out their own daughters to make extra money is a very difficult and "real" task, thank you. It's no small feat keeping this state together against their onslaught. Have a nice day working for money that I will tax and use to teach illegal immigrants how evil America is in spanish. Do you own any weapons? |

There would be no survivors period, if this actually hits.
[url=http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/risk/2002nt7.html]Nasa [/url] says the impact would have a yield of 1.1TT, or 1,100,000MT. All life would be extinguished, if not by the blast (4000km+ radius) or global firestorm, then by solar radiation due to the destruction of the ozone layer & other effects. Forget bunkers or caves (or even mineshafts [:)]), they wouldn't help. Only safe place would be another planet. |

Maybe, if we could attach 10 or 12 SRB's and an additional 2-3 drop tanks for maneuvering jets to (or for) her fat ass we could deflect the asteroid. hmmm... 2 approximately equal masses w/ approx. equal densities, we'd just have to get her up to several thousand mph.... We could even add Gray's enourmous ego just for good measure. |
