Is An Asteroid Coming?

[longknife]

I’m tempted to post this under the conspiracy thread. But, it does raise some legit questions.

The Proposed Budget For NASA’s ‘Planetary Defense Coordination Office’ Is Suddenly Increased To $150 Million.

And the office’s only been there for 2 years.

The new Planetary Defense Coordination Office—which, despite its science fiction-sounding name, is part of a very real effort to ward off the potentially deadly impact of asteroids that may hit the planet—is charged with supervising “all NASA-funded projects to find and characterize asteroids and comets that pass near Earth’s orbit around the sun.”

Should we get busy building survival bunkers?

Yes. One is coming.

It is a good idea in order to protect America and our interest from the impact of the asteroid.

/----/ Libtards will blame Global Warming for causing Astroid strikes.

Well, considering how much sky there is out there, as well as how many NEO's out there they detect on a regular basis (Near Earth Objects), that amount of money is just a drop in the bucket. At least 95 percent of the space around us is going to remain undetected.

Grinning-Skull Asteroid Set to Whiz by Earth - Better late to the Halloween party than never: An asteroid shaped like a grinning skull is set to pass by Earth on Nov. 11. Asteroid 2015 TB145 was first discovered in 2015, when it zipped within 301,986 miles (486,000 kilometers) of Earth right on Halloween. According to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory small-body object database, the asteroid's next flyby will not be nearly so close; it will pass about 24 million miles (38 million km) from our planet. That's about a quarter of the distance from the Earth to the sun.

Given enough time, an asteroid probably will strike the planet (again).
So what?

Trump boot lickers will back it so that the Orange Ogre can get his Buck Rogers style space force and drive the debt even higher.

No doubt it will be god's wrath for gays and democrats. Don't laugh. The nutters will buy into this completely.

It looks like it might be the Holy Ghost.

Not a chance. Something between the size of a school bus to something around 1/2 mile wide, traveling at over 28,000 mph? Yeah.............sure.............the only thing we MIGHT be able to do is track it, but we don't have any kind of missiles that would stop it, they wouldn't be fast enough.

And, forget trying to catch it in space............those speeds are more like 50,000 mph.

You do know that the Japanese landed a probe on an asteroid ?

The Chinese aren't going to stop their space exploration and Iran has orbital launch capability you know that country that has been identified as the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world. A couple of high altitude nuclear detonations and we are a preindustrial country again. .

Dude...............landing on an asteroid and taking a couple of pictures is VASTLY different than trying to stop a cataclysmic event from striking the earth.

So..............tell me...............how exactly are two hopping rovers that land successfully on an asteroid going to stop it or veer it off course so it doesn't strike Earth and end all life?

It'll all be funneled into the fake glowbull warming scam NASA now runs.

I didn't say it wasn't you stated that an asteroid was traveling to fast to catch up to.
