One of the most concerning things about the Chelyabinsk event has to do with the ease at which the asteroid evaded our detection systems in use at the time. On the same day the Chelyabinsk asteroid exploded over eastern Russia, NASA had been tracking... 2012 DA14, as it passed within just 17,200 miles from Earth.
March 2023...chief scientist with NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, presented new findings on impact features at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference at Johnson Space Center. Based on recent satellite data, Garvin thinks previously hidden features of ancient impact features could indicate they are much larger than they appear and thereby represent events that were potentially far more devastating than previously thought.
Based on Garvin’s estimates, each crater he and other researchers analyzed in the tens of kilometers size range probably resulted in an explosion ten times greater than the largest nuclear explosion in history.
According to Garvin and his team’s research, there might have been as many as a dozen kilometer-sized asteroids that smashed into Earth, with at least a quarter of them striking land. However, not everyone agrees with what Garvin has proposed. Polish Academy of Sciences crater researcher Anna Łosiak told Science that if Garvin’s findings were accurate, it would mean “we really don’t understand what’s going on at all” with asteroid impacts.
If one of NASA’s chief scientists is indeed correct about the recent asteroid assessment, it could obviously mean that there is far more to be concerned about in the event of future asteroid approaches that could potentially endanger our planet. Fortunately, the recent success of NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), which demonstrated the ability to use kinetic impactor spacecraft to offset the motion of potentially dangerous near-Earth objects (NEOs), offers a hopeful outlook for Earth and its future.

I had a thought that if we tapped the caldera like Iceland does it’s calderas, we could have cheap power nationwide and reduce the danger of an eruption
No worries!
NASA has the most comprehensive programs that exist to hire, pay exorbitantly, and promote moslems, LGBT, trans, minority, foreigners, BLM, and migrant invader vermin that billions of dollars can support...
No worries!
Million-Man-March math will protect us...
It’s far too deep for modern drilling equipment as farms I know. (I could be wrong) I was also under the impression that if the pressure was released, something very, very bad would occur.
So you’re saying there is reason for hope.
