Come on now. All we have to do is find a few brave drillers. Team them up with a few brave astronauts. Send them up in a couple of modified shuttles with a huge Nuke. They will of course overcome a few obstacles and then drill and place the Nuke at the bottom of the hole they drill. They will get away and return just as the nuke splits the asteroid in two and miss the earth. Very simple really.good.gif

I'm just kidding, anyways I'm sure it looks like that only for me and nobody else!

:lol: LOL, Actually, my photo hosting site seems to have gone defunct - it doesn't exist anymore - and I just haven't got around to uploading my photos on another hosting site yet :D .

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

Anybody know Harry Stamper's number?

Ensure your beneficiary makes and brings with them to the States a copy of the DS-3025 (vaccination form)

If the government is going to force me to exercise my "right" to health care, then they better start requiring people to exercise their Right to Bear Arms. - "Where's my public option rifle?"

Correction...

Find a few brave drillers and astronaughts and ask Russia to give us a ride up there. We shut down NASA, remember?

Asteroid Apophis in the News Again

by Nancy Atkinson on January 27, 2011

It must have been a slow news day in Russia yesterday (actually – and unfortunately — it wasn’t)… as headlines from one of Russia’s leading news agencies, Ria Novosti, proclaimed, “Russian Astronomers Predict Apophis-Earth Collision in 2036.” But reading the article a little further, the astronomer, Leonid Sokolov of St. Petersburg State University says the chance of a collision in 2036 is extremely slim, which is exactly what NASA’s Near-Earth Object Program has been saying for several years. So, just to be clear, there is no new information or changes in understanding Apophis’ orbit. Here are the facts:

Apophis is expected to make a record-setting — but harmless — close approach to Earth on Friday, April 13, 2029 when it comes no closer than 29,450 km from Earth (18,300 miles). Astronomers have ruled out any possibility of an impact in 2029.

That close pass could alter the asteroid’s orbit for future passes by Earth, but the exact course of the new orbit will depend on exactly how close Apophis comes to Earth in 2029.

That being said, with all the different orbital parameters taken in to account, the probability of Apophis impacting Earth on its following pass in 2036 is about 1 in 250,000, as of the estimates released in October of 2009.

Another encounter by the asteroid with Earth in 2068 currently has a chance of impact at approximately 1 in 333,000.

Like all preliminary estimates, NASA says it is expected that the 2068 encounter will diminish in probability as more information about the 2029 pass by Apophis is acquired.

Initially, when first discovered in 2004, Apophis was thought to have a 2.7 percent chance of impacting Earth in 2029, but as scientists have made better and more detailed observations, they were able to recalculate the path of Apophis, determining that there was no chance it would hit Earth in 2029 and significantly downgrading the odds of it hitting Earth on future passes.

“The refined orbital determination further reinforces that Apophis is an asteroid we can look to as an opportunity for exciting science and not something that should be feared,” said Don Yeomans, manager of the NEO Program Office at JPL. “The public can follow along as we continue to study Apophis and other near-Earth objects by visiting us on our AsteroidWatch Web site and by following us on the @AsteroidWatch Twitter feed.”

Apophis is approximately Its diameter is approximately 270 meters (885 ft), the size of two-and-a-half football fields.

So, basically, what you're saying is that we are 704 times more likely to get hit by an E.L.E. (I preferred Deep Impact to Armageddon :innocent: ) in 2036 than we are to win the Lottery.

Well that sucks :(

Don't interrupt me when I'm talking to myself

I am saying that and don't do a whole bunch of dumb stuff because you have been convinced by the OP the end is nigh!
