NASA head: "Expect a major asteroid strike in your lifetime"

[Oatmeal]

Man this some BS, they can't even accurately predict the weather 3 days in advance and they trying to tell me when an asteroid from space is coming.

 

[Sukairain]

I'm sure the technology they have is already good enough to detect enormous catastrophic meteors, like the one that landed 65 million years ago and wiped out dinosaurs.

If they can't detect the less devastating ones, the ones that might wipe out a city or a state and not the whole world, I'm not concerned. shyt happens. It's a tragedy. But it wouldn't be any different to if there had been an earthquake or a tsunami or a volcano erupting. That's life, sometimes people die to something no human can possibly control. We're all at the mercy of natural forces

Shoulda just let Tony make that suit of armor around the world.


Now we gotta worry bout meteors

It’s happened many many times before. Might not happen for another 300yrs but it will happen again. We know how to stop it but don’t want to spend the money.

Nah bruh, I’m talking about huge asteroids the size of Australia smashing into the earth

Apophis could hit earth on Valentines day 2029? I think after it passes in 2022. Not nothing the size of Australia but big enough for the planet to take notice

We know how to stop it? Breh maybe on some hypothetical shyt. But as of right now in 2019 we got a better chance stopping Galactus

 

[Neil Tyson]

Why can't the world come together and fire nukes at it. Not to destroy it but change its trajectory

 

[jackswstd]

If I’m still alive when it happens I hope I’m at ground zero when it does.

[Eternal Tecate]

Every June and October we pass through a meteor belt for 12 days

It'll be then

Make sure you know how to build a solar panel and purify water

Only squirrel girl and the infinity gauntlet can stop galactus
