"2068" --Massive Asteroid Apophis on Path for Earth Impact | The Daily Galaxy

Sixty Six million years ago a 14-kilometer long, Mount-Everest sized asteroid blasted a hole in the ground, when at the moment of impact, “the top of it might have still towered more than a mile above the cruising altitude of a 747,” writes Peter Brannen in Ends of the World. “In its nearly...

Is it likely to impact our way of life?

cheers.

Luckily Hollywood is full of superheroes that can save us from this disaster. If anyone can, it's them!

We can blow it up.......I saw the movie

The dinosaur killer was 14 kilometers long. Apophis is about 300 meters.

Apophis would pack a bigger punch than any of our nuclear weapons and the debris it kicks up into the atmosphere would affect the climate for months, maybe even a few years.

But it would be nowhere near an extinction level event.

If I'm still alive I'll be 100 so I think I'll be ok with going.

cheers.

 

[vetteman]

Is there any way to speed it up?

Ill be 88 shittin my undies anyway/ lol if we launch a firecracker at it with Bruce Willis on it might reach in time an nudge it out of the way

 

[Side Burns]

The idea of extinction makes me’teor up

 

[LP121]

I couldn't imagine a crater catastrophe.

 

[KP11520]

The hell with that one.... What about the one that's going to hit on Nov 2, 2020? (0.5% chance)

They're saying (hoping is more like it) it will burn up before hitting if it does hit.

But if it does, I know where I want it to go! LOL

 

[fett]

That would seriously rock your world.

 

[Uncle Vinnie]

I'm deeply impacted.

 

[cjpeck]

could we hurry this up? we are wasting a lot of time.

 

[Mike I]

I don't crater to such nonsense.
