Don't worry Gentlemen, I got this ...

To avert a new apocalypse – this time set for February 2013 – scientists suggest confronting asteroid 2012 DA14 with either paint, or big guns. The tough part of either scheme is that time has long run out to build a spaceship for any operation.
NASA confirms the 60-meter (197-feet) asteroid, spotted by Spanish stargazers in February, has a good chance of colliding with Earth in eleven months.
The rock's closest approach to the planet is scheduled for February 15, 2013, when the distance between the planet and space wanderer will be under 27,000 km (16,700 miles). This is lower than the geosynchronous orbit kept by the Google Maps satellite.

With the asteroid zooming that low, it will be too late to do anything with it besides trying to predict its final destination and the consequences of impact.
A spaceship is needed, experts agree. It could shoot the rock down or just crash into it, either breaking the asteroid into debris or throwing it off course.
“We could paint it,” says NASA expert David Dunham.
Paint would affect the asteroid’s ability to reflect sunlight, changing its temperature and altering its spin. The asteroid would stalk off its current course, but this could also make the boulder even more dangerous when it comes back in 2056, Aleksandr Devaytkin, the head of the observatory in Russia’s Pulkovo, told Izvestia.
Spaceship impossible?
Whatever the mission, building a spaceship to deal with 2012 DA14 will take two years – at least.
The asteroid has proven a bitter discovery. It has been circling in orbit for three years already, crossing Earth’s path several times, says space analyst Sergey Naroenkov from the Russian Academy of Sciences. It seems that spotting danger from outer space is still the area where mere chance reigns, while asteroid defense systems exist only in drafts.
Still, prospects of meeting 2012 DA14 are not all doom and gloom.
“The asteroid may split into pieces entering the atmosphere. In this case, most part of it will never reach the planet’s surface,” remarks Dunham.
But if the entire asteroid is to crash into the planet, the impact will be as hard as in the Tunguska blast, which in 1908 knocked down trees over a total area of 2,150 sq km (830 sq miles) in Siberia. This is almost the size of Luxembourg. In today’s case, the destination of the asteroid is yet to be determined.

Are there any estimates as to how bad the title wave would be if it hit the ocean? That’s a much more likely scenario.
Thanks for the ping!
P = 2.2e-4 = 0.00022 ~ 1/4500, or about one chance in 4500.
I dunno. I don’t think anyone knows for sure what the consequences of a collision would be, but the 2.2MT is a guesstimate of the available energy. Depends on the mass of the object, its orbit and the collision geometry.
Oh thankgoodness, finally something to put us out of our misery ...
Time to send the rail-gun to the space station.
This asteroid really is a small asteroid. And remember, it may be 60 meters across right now, but while passing through Earth's atmosphere, up to half of it by mass will be ablated away by the heat, or such are the estimates I've seen. So perhaps a rock just 40 meters across will actually impact the ground (and that's assuming it doesn't break up during entry).
In comparison, Barringer Crater (1km across and 750ft deep) in Arizona was made by a 50-meter iron impactor.
Thank you, Quix. I appreciate your pings helping me to watch and pray.
Sure.
PRAISE GOD.
Thx for your kind reply.
Until we know what it is made of, it is very difficult to predict what kind of damage this thing could do. Some asteroids are little more then a collection of rubble others are solid iron. If it is a collection of rubble then it would most likely burn up in our atmosphere. Solid iron and it would survive the trip down and impact almost completely intact. Dido if it is solid rock. A water impact is the worse case for an asteroid this size since the tidal wave generated by a 60m asteroid would be huge. 100+ feet would be my guess, a land impact would be like a big nuke going off, bad locally but no where near as bad as a 100 foot tidal wave hitting thousands of miles of coastline.
So first thing is to determine it’s make up. Rubble, rock or iron?

Indeed! Check this out...
Shemita Years, or how to determine the birthday of Yeshua (and other dates)
The year of the Crucifixion/Resurrection (and why its so important)
*******
There are two ways to arrive at the date of the Crucifixion/Resurrection, the easy way and the hard way.
First the easy way.
The year is 3790 (30 C. E.)
The patterns are laid down in the Torah. For instance, the instruction to count (shemita year) is in Leviticus 23:15-16.
Now, to determine a shemita year multiply by seven, 541 x 7 = 3787. Count three and a half years (the length of Yeshua's ministry) from Rosh Hashana 3787 to arrive at Pesach 3790.
See: Daniel 9:27, In the middle of the week (shemita) He shall put and end to the sacrifice and meal offering. "It is finished" John 19:30.
The world had 3.5 years of Moshisach and will have 3.5 of the Ruler.
Still confused? See:
Why Didn't The Red Ribbon on the Head of the Scapegoat Turn White in 30 C.E.?
http://www.outreachjudaism.org/articles/red-ribbon.html
Now for more fun 'count' 666 years from 3790 to arrive at the rule of Abd al Malik who standardized the Quran and Islamic currency! Abd al Malik in English means king of destruction, see Strongs #6.
Fascinating.
Thanks thanks.
Your conclusions, therefore are . . . ???
EVERYBODY! ALL AT ONCE, DUCK!!! (We’ll have to coordinate our timing to get it right!)
Maybe if everyone just moved everything and everybody to Austria it would tilt the planet just enough.....
How about all the garbage to Mecca?
Particularly all the pig . . .
