"This is not an urgent thing," said Giorgini. "We can spend a century thinking about it, another century deciding who is going to do something and then another century figuring out what to do. Three hundred years from now -- we can't even imagine how they will handle the problem."
Kind of like social security reform.

Human nature will never change that much.

Well, ya figure in 878 years we will figure out what to do with it if we are still around. If ya figure how technology has progressed in the last 87.8 years... If it did hit us, would millions of cockroaches and AOL discs be all that survived?

We can make that a "priority" rock when we begin mining asteroids.

"We can spend a century thinking about it, another century deciding who is going to do something and then another century figuring out what to do. Three hundred years from now -- we can't even imagine how they will handle the problem." "What we are predicting is like figuring out a 15-bank shot in a game of pool," said Giorgini. "We can predict the first 13 banks really well, but it is the last few that we need to know more about."
Scientists will save the earth with 300 years of research in pool halls. The Federal government is expected to pay the costs.

Explosive force of millions of tons of TNT.
Yawn.
We've detonated nukes more powerful than 100 million tons of TNT in Nevada.

A new look at an asteroid orbiting the sun shows it could possibly smash into the Earth with the explosive force of millions of tons of TNT Women and children hardest hit.

actually if my calculations are correct that 8.7 years. hehehe

I'm gonna party like it's 2879!!!
To: areafiftyone
...time enough for the speeding space rock to alter its course. Time enough for 8.78 days? Months? Years? Suicide bombers?
To: areafiftyone
The one that hits us will be the one we don't see until the time comes.

I haven't played asteroids in a long time. The key is continuous firing. Move as little as possible and blast away.

Okay, I'm waiting for some enviral whacko to blame our SUV's for this potential disaster!

From other NE reports about this object I read:
Radar echoes revealed a slightly asymmetrical spheroid with a mean diameter of 1.1 km. Optical observations showed the asteroid rotated once every 2.1 hours, the second fastest spin rate ever observed for an asteroid its size. Therefore(!), I hereby suggest we name it the Carville Disruption Asteroid due to that "spin rate."
