Oh, great: another "scientist" is on the loose. Time to move to another planet, I guess.

Great minds think alike, that was the very first thing I thought of when I heard this story, Call Halliburton!
The second thing I thought of was it would be even more valuable as a Satellite half way between the Earth and the Moon, as a stationary mass of it's size we could use it as one end of a tether or the base of an Earth to the Moon Elevator. As an American I think that any World catastrophe should be righted and if there is a profit to be made, I'd like a shot at it. (Sorry Robert Heinlein was a positive influence in my life)

I worry more about sooner than later, too.

NEMO ME IMPUNE LACESSET Nemo was finally found right before the crabs hovering the sewer, finding him guilty, and about to lacesset him, by Ellen DeGeneres.
All is well.

Time for Armageddon II........someone pls call Bruce Willis and Ben Afflicted......the sequel is here
To: txflake
No point in worrying about it. I just live one day at a time anyway.
Hell, the core of the planet could vent enough gas one day to poison the atmosphere, the sun could go into a phase that destroys all life, or a black hole could swallow us up.
I had a fair day today, hope to had a better one tomorrow, but if it all ends tonight I will go gracefully. My only regret being that I did not learn how to be at peace with myself sooner.
I grew up fearing atomic bombs during the cold war. After that, nothing much bugs me anymore.

Mark your calendars. Especially the Mayan ones.

They fed us iodine in grade school. We got down winded by a couple of tests.
Scared the crap out of everyone.
Fun days.........

Oh, this one wouldn't end life on earth or anything; wouldn't want to be within a hundred miles or so of the impact though......
Unsure of the tsunami size if it hit an ocean; 1,600 megatons is a lot less energy than the Chilean Earthquake of 1960 (largest quake known) at 11,000 megatons.
To: JSteff
Now that you mention it, that asteroid diagram has some strange, metaphorical resemblance to Algore, although I'm not quite sure what it is.
To: hole_n_one
I'll be 74 by then...still alive to experience the excitement (probably the only excitement I can get at that age)...but old enough to not give a s*#t whether I survive it or not!

2029? That one will be making the rubble bounce on my headstone.

>>GREAT book!
Yes sir! I will always think of Lucifer's Hammer when I think of good sci-fi subject material. Larry Niven is at the top of my list. I just re-read "Inferno" last week, which is definitely a one of a kind book. I just wish Niven would pump out a few more! :)
