If the asteroid had any decency if would go behind the moon to whiz.
It’s the biggest threat mankind faces, while the dopes in government fiddle.
death from the sky
My best guess... It's got something to do with time travel or maybe cryogenics.... They're freezing something, sending it to orbit and then reviving it upon it's return to earth.
What’s worrying is not that we just saw a rock the size of a 10-story building flying past; what’s worrying is thinking about how many of these we haven’t seen. A rock that big made Meteor Crater in Arizona, and there haven’t (to the best of our knowledge) been any strikes that big since then. The closest we’ve come is Tunguska, and even that was over an uninhabited area. Something as big as this latest rock smacking down in a populated area would be a major catastrophe; not ELE by any means, but imagine if it hit on the outskirts of London, or Phoenix? The blast was estimated to be the equivalent of 10MT, which would level the city even if it wasn’t a direct hit. A strike out in the fields of Nebraska or Kansas would put a major dent in the crop growing there, and affect farming operations for years due to the ejecta.
I watch Spaceweather.com all the time for the near-earth fly-bys. And it seems that all of these particularly large <1LD flybys happen to pop up only on that day, or after.
What good is this system anyway ?! Are they just not telling us until they’re sure it’s a miss ?
“scientists at the Catalina Sky Survey”
That sounds like a pretty laid back place for a scientist to work. I’m imagining a bunch of guys in shorts and sandals with labcoats on listening to the Doobie Brothers while doing their experiments.
Had that thing hit us it would have been a very bad day on the planet.
