Why do I find myself rooting for the asteroid?

Six days?
Not enough time for a government program to stop it.

With no air in space there would be no shockwave, even from a nuke.The Greta stare would do the job. How close do we need to get her?
I'm enough of a gentleman to try to get her back afterwards, but if the planet is in peril, that becomes secondary.

I always thought the tech on the salvage 1 show was on point. I loved that show at the time. One of the obvious questions was how they managed to get to orbit without running out of fuel, since their ship just seemed to climb at a slow, steady speed instead of accelerating to very high speed like actual rockets do.

A rock that huge would hurt and kill people far beyond DC. Be careful what you wish for.

I was in West Virginia last fall when I heard a huge explosion that seemed to have occurred on the other side of the mountain west of my cabin. I thought, my gosh, what are they working on there? Next day at a meeting everyone was talking about the meteor that was reported to have hit, and everyone there the day before had heard it and been surprised.

It sounded like it was a mile or two away, but I think it was a lot farther. I was about 5 or 6 miles west of Baker, WV. Do you have any idea where this strike actually was? I did not recognize the location reported last September, around the 20th.

They keep promising but it never hits.
