PUT NASA BACK IN SPACE - NASA discovers 8 new dangerous Near Earth Asteroids

We can't! NASA is part of the climate science and global warming conspiracy. Their science is suspect.

They are as they promote what they need to in order to get more money..

Just ask all the AGW promoters who live in those mansions and drive Bentley's like AL Gore and James Hansen.

 

[Judicial review]

Without question we need NASA back in space and more space craft to explorer what is out there that could impact us on earth. With all the private space rockets being made we could combine NASA and these private companies and expedite a lot of this stuff. Instead of having a russian space station or us space station we should allow for funding of a base on the Earths moon. Start with that rather than going to mars. Create better weather satilites, and communication satelites of the 21st century. If we had a new tax code which would create more revenue and more tax payers and a very aggressive debt reduction plan that allowed for smaller government, put huge amounts of money for scientific research grants and funding of NASA that has created many things that are necessities and huge industries of today, we'd further our country and be way ahead of everybody else. Imagine the USA claiming the moon!! We are the only ones that can afford to do so, so do it.

With these private companies involved doing things for much cheaper it will level (curb) the cost and funding NASA would need. I'm a christian and believe in Christ, but I believe in making earth a better place and doing all that man can do. Just like Christ says we are supposed to enjoy life and not hurt through it.

This will also create a demand or new scientists and a boom in science and math degrees and create an importance for it. 2 areas America is lacking in.

 

[Judicial review]

If any dare approach Earth in the next two years Our Kenyan President will raise His mighty hand and deflect it.

So what's all the fuss?

Nasa needs a plan and the funding to move it forward. There's no question we can protect the planet to small asteroids to maybe a half mile. Would be a good idea seeing that 100-500 foot asteroids are coming out of no where almost yearly within the orbit of the moon.

It needs to be managed smarter and the money to go further. Figure out how to do that and I'd agree with you. Then we could throw a hundred billion a year at it and grow it by adding more scientists and mathmaticians, and engineers and create another boom in technology and space exploration the smart way and with the support and corrolation with private companies.

Yes we know that the AGW cult is nuts, but we have to deal with it on a daily basis. Soon as we can get the AGW cult and far left cult out of the way, science will prevail once again..

Live in mansions and drive Bentleys?

Someone is nuts around here but its not who you think it is.

 

[jc456]

These deniers here are so dumb, they can't imagine how NASA could do multiple different missions at the same time.

We get it already, kooks. You're morons. You can't hold more than one idea in your head at once, and you assume everyone else is as stupid as yourselves.

now this is one that qualifies for more stupid of the day. One idea, dude/dudetter, that is one more than you have!!!!

"YP139 has a “H” value of 21.6, which corresponds to a possible diameter of 130 – 300 metres.

To put this into perspective, the Chelyabinsk meteor which caused a 500 kiloton explosion over Russia in 2013 was estimated to be around 20 metres in diameter. Chelyabinsk meteor - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia A 300 metre object has the potential to cause (300 ^ 3 / 20 ^ 3) * 500 kilotons = 1.6 Gigaton explosion. An explosion of this magnitude, especially an ocean strike, could create gigantic Tsunamis, and would severely disrupt the global climate for several years, possibly longer."

I guess this would make it a very bad number of years if it struck earth. And this is just on of the asteroids they found.

I used Pudue University's impact calculator and the results was a slightly different than is reported here. At a distance of 100 miles from the impact, the blast wind, when it arrives, would be about 74 mph, breaking glass and throwing around medium-sized objects not tied down or otherwise secured. The fireball on the horizon would be 8.6 times larger than the sun on the horizon. The radiant flux at this distance is about 7.4 times ambient solar flux, so you might get a slight sun burn since it wouldn't last very long. Seismic effects would be nearly unnoticeable at this distance to all but sensitive seismic instruments. No ejecta is likely to reach this distance from the impact. And according to the calculator:

The impact-generated tsunami wave arrives (100 km from the impact) approximately 11.0 minutes after impact.
Tsunami wave amplitude is between: 1.4 meters ( = 4.7 feet) and 40.8 meters ( = 134.0 feet).

At 500 km from the impact:
The impact-generated tsunami wave arrives approximately 54.9 minutes after impact.
Tsunami wave amplitude is less than 8.2 meters ( = 26.8 feet).

At 1000 km from the impact:
The impact-generated tsunami wave arrives approximately 1.8 hours after impact.
Tsunami wave amplitude is less than 4.1 meters ( = 13.4 feet).

Having said all that, I looked up your asteroid, and it is actually larger than you are reporting here. The actual size is 2,130 feet, which is 649.224 meters. So lets plug this number into the impact calculator.

We'll round it to 650 meters for simplicity:
Your Inputs:
Distance from Impact: 100.00 km ( = 62.10 miles )
Projectile diameter: 650.00 meters ( = 2130.00 feet )
Projectile Density: 3000 kg/m3
Impact Velocity: 25.00 km per second ( = 15.50 miles per second )
Impact Angle: 45 degrees
Target Density: 1000 kg/m3
Target Type: Ice

Energy:
Energy before atmospheric entry: 1.35 x 1020 Joules = 3.22 x 10^4 MegaTons TNT
The average interval between impacts of this size somewhere on Earth during the last 4 billion years is 3.3 x 10^5year
Major Global Changes:
The Earth is not strongly disturbed by the impact and loses negligible mass.
The impact does not make a noticeable change in the tilt of Earth's axis (< 5 hundreths of a degree).
The impact does not shift the Earth's orbit noticeably.
Atmospheric Entry:
The projectile begins to breakup at an altitude of 60200 meters = 198000 ft
The projectile reaches the ground in a broken condition. The mass of projectile strikes the surface at velocity 24.7 km/s = 15.3 miles/s
The impact energy is 1.32 x 1020 Joules = 3.14 x 104MegaTons.
The broken projectile fragments strike the ground in an ellipse of dimension 1.22 km by 0.865 km
Crater Dimensions:
What does this mean?
Crater shape is normal in spite of atmospheric crushing; fragments are not significantly dispersed.
Transient Crater Diameter: 12.1 km ( = 7.51 miles )
Transient Crater Depth: 4.28 km ( = 2.66 miles )
Final Crater Diameter: 16.8 km ( = 10.4 miles )
Final Crater Depth: 692 meters ( = 2270 feet )
The crater formed is a complex crater.
The volume of the target melted or vaporized is 0.828 km3 = 0.199 miles3
Roughly half the melt remains in the crater, where its average thickness is 7.21 meters ( = 23.6 feet ).
Thermal Radiation:
What does this mean?
Time for maximum radiation: 412 milliseconds after impact
Visible fireball radius: 9.39 km ( = 5.83 miles )
The fireball appears 21.3 times larger than the sun
Thermal Exposure: 5.67 x 106 Joules/m2
Duration of Irradiation: 2.2 minutes
Radiant flux (relative to the sun): 42.9
Effects of Thermal Radiation:\
Clothing ignites
Much of the body suffers third degree burns
Newspaper ignites
Plywood flames
Deciduous trees ignite
Grass ignites
Seismic Effects:
What does this mean?
The major seismic shaking will arrive approximately 20 seconds after impact.
Richter Scale Magnitude: 7.6
Mercalli Scale Intensity at a distance of 100 km:
VI. Felt by all, many frightened. Some heavy furniture moved; a few instances of fallen plaster. Damage slight.
VII. Damage negligible in buildings of good design and construction; slight to moderate in well-built ordinary structures; considerable damage in poorly built or badly designed structures; some chimneys broken.
Ejecta:
What does this mean?
The ejecta will arrive approximately 2.4 minutes after the impact.
At your position there is a fine dusting of ejecta with occasional larger fragments
Average Ejecta Thickness: 19.1 cm ( = 7.52 inches )
Mean Fragment Diameter: 10.8 cm ( = 4.25 inches )
Air Blast:
What does this mean?
The air blast will arrive approximately 5.05 minutes after impact.
Peak Overpressure: 63100 Pa = 0.631 bars = 8.95 psi
Max wind velocity: 120 m/s = 268 mph
Sound Intensity: 96 dB (May cause ear pain)
Damage Description:
Multistory wall-bearing buildings will collapse.
Wood frame buildings will almost completely collapse.
Glass windows will shatter.
Up to 90 percent of trees blown down; remainder stripped of branches and leaves.

Needless to say, this is a significant change in the effects of a much larger object. The good news is that NASA doesn't see any threat from this object for at least the next 100 years, but they are nonetheless keeping an eye on it.

More proof that the AGW cult is out to push their religion not based on science..

Anyone thinking that that the trillions being spent to prove AGW is not affecting real and actual science is beyond nuts.

However you can believe those that live in mansions and drive Bentleys all you want, just goes to show that you will believe anything your religion tells you to believe.

See what I mean? Right wingers think scientists have no integrity. This is what the OP says:

Its way past time to put these people back to scientific work and get them out of the agenda propaganda crap the current white house has them doing.. NO more Muslim out reach, No more CO2 chasing (that hypothesis is dead), no more man induced warming.... Lets get back to basics and knock the liberal bull shit off..

See? How can these ignorant right wingers be sure scientists are telling the truth about asteroids if they are lying about global warming and vaccines? And scientists are involved in "Muslim out reach" because, apparently, scientists are looking for something to do.

This is why right wingers in charge is scary.. Look at Iraq. That's what happens when you put people with insane delusion in charge of our military.

Science has been hijacked by people who thing the earth is only thousands of years old. Personally, I think the right has hijacked "stupid".

So how would an asteroid strike NOT constitute advanced urban renewal? Unless, of course, it missed a center of population.

nope, we left the stupid with the left. You all continue to show more stupid on here daily. So, you are in error with your stupid. Keep up the stupid though, I know the leftists on here will coordinate with your stupid and post more of the stupid. We all on the right appreciate the laugh daily!!!
