How big would an asteroid have to be to hit the moon and have IT crash into Earth?

No. Not boring. Nancy Pelosi has a fear of flying houses. One fell on her sister killing her and to make things worse a white teenage girl looted her ruby red slippers off of the corpse.

If you bank the asteroid off of mars you can sink Earth into the side pocket.

Refreshing to see an honest headline. Normally, we'd see:

Newfound asteroid the size of a house hurtling towards Earth at breakneck speed.

And it would take at least three paragraphs to get to the 223,000 miles bit.

That’s my point: a big rock wouldn’t have to hit Earth directly to cause big problems here.

So another words “something that happens thousands of times a year” that is a waste of my time to give a shit about. I’m so tired of “doom porn”.

Boring.
= = =

Asteroid the size of a house fly.

But it is going really, really fast.

Maybe Bill Gates will fund a really, really, really big Swatter.

You missed the word “Safely” in the headline?

All right ... this is bugging me... I have to ask...

If ASTEROIDS come into the hemisphere...
And HEMORROIDS are on the ass...

Wouldn’t it make sense to call the things on your ass ASTEROIDS, and the things coming into the hemisphere HEMORROIDS...?

Puzzling...

Diameter of the Earth: 7800 miles

Size of the space rock" about 300ft in diameter

So if one meets the other, guess which one will win?

The MSM says the Earth will be destroyed.

Does Uranus get threatened by hemhoroids instead of asteroids?
