There's a good chance of it hitting the pacific ocean. It'd be awesome if it hit from a radius where there would be like a chunk of it that flew out and just landed on some country without harming anything then some fucker could sell it for an immense amount to money.
Also, if you guys are suggesting we send a rocket to get rid of the meteor, you are wrong. The rocket will of course, destroy the thing, but it would make smaller debris from the blast, a la turning a bullet into a shotgun blast. It would make more sense to take a space ship to it, if possible, and build railguns onto the thing. Set up movers that take rock and put them into the railguns, and fire said railguns. Sending the meteor "rocks" away from the meteor's original destination

it means that the asteroid orbits around the sun like every other asteroid?[/QUOTE]
I wonder why I forgot that asteroids orbit the sun. I had it in my head they just randomly floated out of nowhere. :v:

Are you serious?

No, It's 5:54am and I'm bored.
brb, marking "ASTEROID LANDING ZONE" in syberia.

It could be possible, and the best part is, you can make alot of money off of just selling it to some research team.
[QUOTE=woolio1;34983849]It's almost as big as a football field. This does not look good, folks.[/QUOTE]
Are we talking an American football field or a soccer field?

Yeah, fuck donations and other people. Force them to spend money that could be used for research that could benefit humanity as a whole.

Its about 6/10 the side of a Canadian standard football field.

football is soccer
gawsh
Even if it hits the ocean or lake? Oceans create tsunamis/tidal waves if something hit it very hard and fast and fuck alot of things up.

We have an atmosphere and we have governments that will take action if the probability of it hitting the planet grows or by some coincidence the Moon gets hit by it and debris rains on Earth and we are all killed by chunks of rock and tsunamis...
Maybe we will get some alien life for once!
Reminds me of that Simpsons episode where it just ends up crumbling when it enters the atmosphere haha.
[QUOTE=zombini;34983860]Will most likely hit the ocean. If it hits an unpopulated area and someone is near enough to film it hit, that would be excellent though.
EDIT: Actually, that would be fucking bad if this hit land, considering that the Tunguska meteor was roughly 50-100 meters.[/QUOTE]
If someone is near enough to film it they can likely kiss their ass goodbye.
You know what's fun to think, if we do have some sort of Alien life, and this Alien life is friendly towards us, It'd be pretty awesome because then it would prove for one that there is other life outside of our System and we could get boosted really far forward with technology.
Oh and Alien sex.
I'd like to ask what people think a nuclear strike on an asteroid would do. There is no atmosphere for it, nothing, all the concussive force would be distributed along the path of least resistance, back in to space. You'd have to deliver an actual impact in to it for it have any real effect. It'd be like a grenade in a vacuum compared to a bullet in a vacuum.
[QUOTE=Lazor;34983909]oh wow don't even be worried about this
99.97800000% chance the asteroid will miss the Earth

I was just getting excited :(

It's basically an EMP when detonated in space, so we'd be EMP-ing an Asteroid.

lets use a bomb!
60 meters is about the length of a small cruise ship so I wouldn't be that scared guys
[QUOTE=74;34985978]It's basically an EMP when detonated in space, so we'd be EMP-ing an Asteroid.[/QUOTE]If the asteroid is far enough, there will be no EMP what so ever. Unless, it has it's own magnetic field, which is doubtful. Even then, what would an EMP do to an asteroid, does it have electric guidance systems in it?
Also, RT showing what a great news service they are.

Yes, the asteroids have laser guidance systems.
