NASA would perform muslim outreach.

FEMA would build internment camps.

ASTROID PROBLEM SOLVED.

Nowadays fedgov would just kill everyone beforehand so they wouldnt have to die by the asteroid. Would demand a thank you before doing so.

My initial thought, as well. But shouldn’t it trigger enough earthquakes on the California faults to have the same effect? And then the dust would cause more crop damage worldwide than the water impact would.

I always wondered if ATTs symbol was copied from the “death star” of Star Wars or if they thought ATT was the perfect symbol for a “death star.

The “Death Star” kills you quickly, ATT does it one month at a time.

The girls seem to have paid attention, but the colored boy seems a bit weak on the concept.

We were closer to a major target, I suppose. We just went out in the hallways and sat on the floor, knees drawn up, head between knees, hands clasped behind neck.

That was a stupid movie.

Scientifically bad, geologically bad, script bad with the exception of Bruce Willis hitting golf balls at a Greenpeace ship, I liked that part, orbital dynamics not real, fuel burn required to reach the asteroid in time would have required to put a supertanker in orbit, the pieces of the asteroid that hit the earth would have been worse, but what the hell I enjoyed it and his screen daughter in the movie was hot. :)
