No, no, no, no, NO!

Increase mass, reduce velocity, set for lower latitude to adjust trajectory for impact 2800 miles west right on the coastline of Martha’s Vineyard.

Nice cover with the science angle, albeit a bit corny (re ‘spin’).

Rotating at the dizzying speed of once every 2.6 seconds. More like a knucleball. Everything’s relative.

31,000 mph (50,000 km/h)

So...what is figure in “feet per second”?

The Mahdi is supposed to climb out of a well...

He need a very strong scent of blood to encourage him to begin the arduous climb from the 7th century to the 21st.

Which is why Iran is trying to develop nuclear weapons so they can start a full scale nuclear war, creating enough blood to get him out of the well and on to extermination the entire human race, wait that’s supposed to be bringing the human race to Paradise.

If one asteroid wants to hit another an impart spin, then, I mean, who are we to stop them? And really, from their POV, isn’t it really we who are spinning? Bot of compassion, folks. Is that too much to ask?

Interesting because the book of Revelation prophesies demonic creatures coming out of the earth as well.

And there’s no video surveillance footage of this explosion? No dashcams or home security systems?

Spot on: for a fastball, a good spin rate is between 2,200 to 2,600 RPM, and for sliders, it ranges from 2,500 to 2,900 RPM (for context, 2,400 RPM would be 40 revolutions per second)

Fastest ever seen in recorded history, not necessarily fastest ever seen.

Right, because they’re scientists talking only about observations.
