don't you find it odd, that they told us this like 2 days later :/

By level I think he means what happens after the strike. Think Tunguska.

May be old news but its still pretty interesting to think theres an aasteroid with our names on it.

Ignorance is bliss tbh Id rather not know I was going to die because lets face it atm theres nothing they could do about it.
Then I suppose would give ppl a chance to say prayers etc.plus the panic generated would be harmful in its self (if they knew where the asteroid would be likely to land)

So any suggestions as for the best place for it to hit. I could think of one or two trouble spots in the world I'd like it to hit. Might give them something else to think about rather than killing each other.

Wipe out Jerusalem with it. With a bit of luck, both sides would see it as a punishment for fighting and stop.

Or they'd see it as a sign that they had to shoot the crap out of each other again.

In order of preference

Dundee, Swindon, Milton Keynes...

With luck it'll fragment on entry and hit all three.

I was under the impression that the average sized "fragment" would crush the entire country as it is?

Naw just largish city by all accounts. This wasn't a planet killer.

Only the size of a football pitch.

yeah do nasa actually have a way of stopping asteroids, or at least breaking them up into smaller, less dangerous pieces.

"Although lightweight compared with some asteroids, 2002 MN was big enough to have caused devastation similar to the impact of one in Siberia in 1908. On that occasion, an asteroid that exploded above Tunguska flattened nearly 800 square miles of forest."

800 square miles of square forest .. thats pritty huge!

quite a scary thought really

also britain just happens to be in the crappest position ever.... if it hits europe - we r dead. if it hits atlantic ocean - we r dead

Before-NASA's handywork:
Large asteroid hits North America, destroying the US, Canada, Mexico, the WestIndies, and flooding Iceland and Japan.

After-NASA's plan:
Lots of medium sized asteroids hit Earth, at differant speeds. 80% of the Earths surffice is covered, destroying 70% of the world.


I'd rather have NASA go back to faking moon landings :rolleyes:

I don't think there is a plan for this one.

Given we had a near miss I think the plan involved bending over and kissin your ass goodbye.

I remember seeing a horizon special about this not too long ago. They thought the idea of us even seeing it coming AND organising a concerted launch of ALL our nuclear weapons would do nothing to a planet killer sized asteroid.

Doesn't that make you feel snug and warm inside.

I think I'd go and have a pint of beer and wrap a towel around my head.

depends how long Ive got.

If its only a few minutes, Id persuade the cleaner in our office to let me shag her.

If its a few hours, Id go home and persuade Mrs Wil to let me shag her.:cool:
