Asteroid fly-by today 4/19/2017

[yiostheoy]

Massive asteroid nicknamed 'The Rock' to make closest pass to Earth in 400 years

 

[yiostheoy]

Every few hundred years this space bullet skims by the Earth's orbit.

Eventually it will hit us but how many centuries this will take has not been calculated.

It was discovered 3 years ago.

The last big space rock like this that hit the Earth was 13 years ago.

 

[Bleipriester]

Why has this not been calculated. Should it be a surprise? With wrapping paper and loops?

At least the NASA radar gives us a chance to kiss our azzes goodbye.

Watch Asteroid 2014 JO25 As It Whizzes By Earth TONIGHT

Yeah, it seems like EVERY time there's something like a big meteor shower or an eclipse or whatever, it's raining here too.

I will be praying with you in hopes it does not impact Uranus.

It does work, but there's little we can do about it with our level of technology.

We need to blow it up so when we need to blow one up we're good at it

It's not that easy for several reasons starting with Newton's Laws of Motion. Another reason is it's extremely large mass.

Part of our millitaries mission should be to seek out such threats and defend the united states from them. What ever means that is necessary.

If it's going to hit Russia or China do we let it hit?

If it affects us negatively, yes...

 

[strollingbones]

blowing up a big one just means you are gonna be hit by the smaller bits....neither a good scenario
