Is An Asteroid Coming?

[Dan Stubbs]

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?

I hope so. LOL

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.

/——/ I wonder if we don’t already have to technology to deflect an asteroid

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 ?
They Made It! Japan's Two Hopping Rovers Successfully Land on Asteroid Ryugu

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?

Just the Progressives can ride it out of town.

The evangelical cult will claim it's from god.

If it is ALLOWED to hit, It IS from God. Things like this are NEVER left to time and chance.

Some people are just total stupid asses. They won't think it's a conspiracy if this SOB due to come near earth hits us. Just like the one the leftist assholes thought was a joke and it slammed into Russia actually injuring quite a few ppl.

The earth needs some Preparation A - Asteroid!

You know, if anyone has the chance while traveling through New Mexico, it's worthwhile to stop at Meteor Crater. Not only do you get to see the devastation that it brings (a big ass hole in the ground, damn near a mile around, and 560 feet deep).

You also get to see the meteorite that made the hole. It's on display in the museum.

And................that one was just a bit smaller than a refrigerator, and made of iron.

Trump is proposing record high budgets, and that money has to go somewhere

 

[ABikerSailor]

Trump might be proposing record high budgets, but how the hell is he gonna pay for them? He's already cut taxes, so where is the money gonna come from?

At the federal, state, and local levels, taxpayers shell out approximately $134.9 billion to cover the costs incurred by the presence of more than 12.5 million illegal aliens, and about 4.2 million citizen children of illegal aliens. That amounts to a tax burden of approximately $8,075 per illegal alien family member and a total of $115,894,597,664. The total cost of illegal immigration to U.S. taxpayers is both staggering and crippling. In 2013, FAIR estimated the total cost to be approximately $113 billion. So, in under four years, the cost has risen nearly $3 billion. This is a disturbing and unsustainable trend. The sections below will break down and further explain these numbers at the federal, state, and local levels.

Short answer yes one is coming.

One is ALWAYS coming. Maybe in a few decades maybe in a few million years but sooner or later another will hit.

Well, to be fair, the Earth is constantly being bombarded with meteorites (asteroids that fell to Earth).

But the question is........................when will one hit again that is big enough to cause an extinction level event.
