Ugh, fucking Russians. If anything, they'll screw it up and end up aiming the damn thing right at the core of Earth.

Agreed, Russia has never been any good with anything that concerns space.
[quote=sauce]Without mentioning NASA findings, Perminov said that he heard from a scientist that Apophis is getting closer and may hit the planet. "I don't remember exactly, but it seems to me it could hit the Earth by 2032," Perminov said.

Scientific rigour right there :v:
But saying that I don't see why everyone's saying Russia will fuck it up. They beat the US at pretty much everything except the moon landing in the space race.

First satellite in space: Russia
First dog in space: Russia
First man in space: Russia
First woman in space: Russia
First spacewalk: Russia
etc.

Yet they won the space race.
[QUOTE=noctune9;19305571]Thus increasing the area/volume ratio making friction upon entry through the atmosphere vaporize more of the asteroid. :science:[/QUOTE]
Exactly. Most of the small chunks would probably burn up (and if not totally, down to a size that causes essentially no damage).
In the long run, even if a lot of the small chunks don't burn up enough, and DO hit us, we're gonna want to deal with that over an ELE asteroid smashing into the side of the Earth and chucking enough crap up into the atmosphere to block the sun out for a while.
Russia is so badass
Watch, they'll knock into a more accurate course with Earth and say 'Oops, did we do that?'
[QUOTE=windwakr;19303969]Basically looking at at least 10 million casualties in this area(dotted line) if it hits in 2036:

Wow. Could cause tsunami's too. But it wouldn't be as bad as [url=http://www.facepunch.com/showpost.php?p=19300710&postcount=21]that guy on the first page says when he talks about North Korea[/url], but it would still be a horrible, horrible event.
At least the US isn't in it's path.....unless Russia fucks it up....[/QUOTE]
10 million is nothing compared to the 7Billion people on earth...
[QUOTE=faze;19312971]Yet they won the space race.[/QUOTE]
The space race was to put a man on the moon.
gee I wonder who did that

You are lying, they never did any of those things.
is this the same one?

in mother russia asteroid is hit by us
Soon they will attach the craft to the astroid and install the obama homing beacon as a rebuttle to him cutting space funds.
Nasa is going to do it, they will hack that craft.

Ever shot a shotgun?
If they do it wrong, well...
[QUOTE=IRN Zombie;19315325]10 million is nothing compared to the 7Billion people on earth...[/QUOTE]
10 million is still a fuckton of people. Roughly the same as, if not more than the number of men and women killed in the holocaust.

6 million 142 thousand jewish people. (?)
so 3 million 958 thousand other people would make sense I guess.
At least its 885 feet only.
GO RUSSIANS! SHOW THAT ASTEROID WHO'S BOSS!
Think of it this way. If they develop how to do it and an asteroid DOES come our way, Russia will save the day!

Blow it apart with AK-47s.
:frogc00l:
Only to cause a shower of smaller meteors. Although they have been acting kinder, lately the russkies have.
Russians are scum of the earth
Knowing them they will probably direct the asteroid closer to earth

Thanks a lot.

can't we fire a particle smashing cannon at like the one at cern

Too bad you don't seem to know them very well.
[QUOTE=BlueSaint;19317375]Ever shot a shotgun?

Firing a shotgun and sticking a nuclear bomb into an asteroid are NOT comparable. They're too totally different things.
Firing a shotgun doesn't require you to spend months and months doing a lot of maths, then checking, double, triple and quadruple it all to make sure it works, then putting into plan what you spent so long agonising every detail on.
Sticking a nuke in an asteroid DOES require all of that.
They suddenly start talking about this. Wich means they have revised their calculations and the menace is real.
[QUOTE=bigdoggie;19324271]Too bad you don't seem to know them very well.[/QUOTE]
I know them enough
They killed 1 million of my country men.

maybe you should stop playing GTA4
[editline]03:56PM[/editline]
they are lazy asses that force other countries to do their work for them
and drink vodka all day
In Soviet Russia, Asteroid attempt to knock you off course!
