Don’t worry. Mayor Bloomberg just has to say that asteroids are not allowed in NYC.

Dont worry. Mayor Bloomberg just has to say that asteroids are not allowed in NYC. Only if it is over 16 oz.

Unless things have changed in the last decade, there are far fewer amateur observers of Southern Hemisphere space than the Northern Hemisphere. We should subsidize a whole bunch of amateur astronomers especially in Australia and South America.

‘Bolden has advice on how to handle a large asteroid headed toward New York City.’
Let the Alec Baldwins, Bill Mahers, Matt Damons and Sena Penns pray to their Gods.
We have already sacrificed enough of our sons for those POS’s.

I agree there is little chance at this point of detecting and diverting a large asteroid.
However, this is at root a policy and fiscal issue, not a technological one. It is well within our tech capabilities, but we choose not to do so because we have other priorities.
Pretty short-sighted, IMO.

So NASA admits there is a God!Reminds me of this scene:

Some believe that the object over Russia was indeed blasted to bits by some sort of munitions.. There are articles on the web discussing extraterrestrial intervention and even a photo of a craft visible in the area at that moment. Interesting stuff. In slowed down video of the meteor something appears to zap it from behind.
ET has been shutting down nuke missiles since the 1960's and there is now extensive testimony from both US and Soviet officers (including colonels and generals) publicly confirming that fact.
Some think they had in some way reduced the radiation from Fukushima.
Who knows.
Keeping an eye on us crazy monkeys?

This video is the most incredible as the guy is filming the smoke trail when the shock wave hits and keeps on rumbling.
Awesome Meteorite Footage

Yes, it’s a wonderful image. I found it on a rather odd blog that appears otherwise worthless. Haven’t tracked down the actual source yet...

Thanks for that video.. Hadn’t seen that one! Incredible audio of the crackling sounds from the.. ‘meteor’? That contrail looks like pulsed exhaust from a SCRAM jet!

A mile wide happens more often than that; the 10-mile-plus bolides which produced the major paleontological boundaries are only tens of millions of years apart (and not on any exact schedule) and the Ries impact (and a probably simultaneous, smaller impact) was less than 15 million years ago, and the impactor is estimated at less than a mile in diameter.
The key to preventing large impacts is early detection; with that, even large impactors can be deflected just a little, enough to avoid collision with Earth.

Some of your relatives, friends or neighbors could be visiting NYC or San Francisco when it hit?
I don’t wish for anyone’s death, despite their misguided politics. That said....I do think that God will handle things the way that only God can (and has in the past).
