Think about it, What IF an Asteroide hits our planet Earth ???

[RobinB]

There actually is an astroide scheduled to cross the Earth's orbit in around 100 years- it WILL pose a danger to Earth, but I trust it'd be taken care of

Yep, Chuck Norris will take care of this minor irritation

Indian, I will answer this one later as I dont have time right now.

Be right back in a few hours. I got better things to do (Spotting). Care to join me ? or you just going to rant my other posts in the forums again ?

Oh well disregard the question, I'd prefer to go with somebody else. You can stay here though, and do your thing, whatever that is ! Have a nice day !

Ok...unwad now...it was only a joke.

I would spend it in a futile attempt to try and catch up to Colin's post count. I'm sure you will be right there too.

Other than that, here's a question for y'all- if someone (NASA/world leaders, etc) found out that an asteroid would hit Earth in, say, 2 days (with no way to stop it/blow it up/send it out of its orbit- total destruction of Earth in other words) do you think they'd tell us?

I don't think so, actually... it'd create a worldwide riot and people wouldn't notice when they were hit- so why not keep peace and quiet for the last two days

Its a little crazy to think about it. But the whole planet would die in a matter of hours if that kind of an impact will occur to your planet earth.

Question for all : How would you spend your very last hours ??

I am unimpressed.

Just in case it hit's the earth, I'd better tape everything for the non-existing greatgrandchilderns .

Childrens, YAY A "you're gonna die painfully and smashed-up-ish, and I'm not! BWAHAHA!" type of tape, I assume?

Also, I doubt it'd happen like that... if an asteroid hit, I'm preeeetty sure there'd be more shockwaves than lava...

Worry about your grandgrandgrand childrens then. If its not your ass in line, think about the next ones..

Nah. I have my peace of mind

That's all assuming that an asteroid as big as the moon could get close to earth without either hitting something else in the asteroid belt, another planet, or going into orbit around the earth.

All very unlikely in my lifetime so I'm not too worried - I will still keep my construction helmet to hand and will remember to 'duck and roll' just in case I am wrong.

Wow, that does look pretty cool. But scientifically, it's unrealistic so not much to worry about there

Well hopefully I'll be standing next to a hot chick when we see it comming so I have one last chance to cop a feel.

Well if I remember the discovery channel program on how our moon was formed, this did happen to the earth, of getting hit by an object that large. The way our moon was formed was by getting hit by a large object and the debris that went into space circled the earth until by gravity it was formed into the moon we see today.

Also one thing I thought was not correct is that no asteroid would be a perfect sphere or close too, like it was in the video. But we have not seen every asteroid out there so there could be something like that.

If I knew where it was going to hit I would be crazy enough to get a lawn chair and get a front row seat of the action, with a couple of beers or what ever drink. Even if you go deep under ground no one will survive that kind of hit, even if you do it would probably be a couple of 100 thousand or million years before it all cool's down.

A couple of million years is nothing. When I'll peak out from the underground, I'll be another species though, I think I'll be a rat or somethin that crawls

[pilotgolfer]

That really does make one wonder.

The ending part I was like wtf?! It's all serious about an asteroid obliterating life and then a commercial for that TBS show.
