Are you prepared for Asteroid Earth collision?

[The Judge]

The Earth has gone through periods of abrupt and catastrophic change, some due to the impact of large asteroids and comets on the planet. A few of these impacts may have caused massive climate change and the extinction of large numbers of plant and animal species. We are long over due for one.

No food, no water, no electricity, your money and jewelry wont be worth much, are you prepared?

Gotta go buy me a 12 box of rubbers. Thanks for the reminder.

Of this shape a star of five
Also happens to the one with six sides
Against the sun and against the moon
I warn you that these two combined
Will bring man’s doom
Of ten horns and seven heads
Count your fingers and the continents
On your forehead or in your right hand
This new moral code that the media commands

Believe not in their clever words
Because faith inact(ed) are the loudest heard
All these things I say are true
Understood sadly by a chosen few

April 2029 the final time The end my friend is not near
Thr hour in fact is quite here when the moon becomes red
To guide the living dead
This means God’s turned his back on you
It’s a Friday 13th of course You won’t live to see noon

I am a prophet of doom

So now the star has fallen Washing away the seas
The seventh seal’s been opened It’s raining your fears
Are you paranoid The coming asteroid
Has got your name tattooed on it
This stone’s called Apophis

It brings Apocalypse
I am a prophet of doom

Speak the name of He Created thee all to be
Which should not be spoken No laws broken

Now life and love the stars above
Which fall upon the all that worship the beast
Influence ceased

My faith is an ember Burning ever
Working towards a greater reward Serving my lured

Built his home upon the rock Not of the flock
But coming as a shepherd Guarding his heard

My soul’s on fire

[Fletch XXX]

pay attention to this part

So now the star has fallen Washing away the seas
The seventh seal’s been opened It’s raining your fears
Are you paranoid The coming asteroid
Has got your name tattooed on it
This stone’s called Apophis

Apophis has all of our names on it

this will not happend till 2019 if the asteroid not change the route

[2012]

I'm sure the Earth is looking forward to it ...

[DaddyHalbucks]

Sure am.

[RedShoe]

I'm prepared. I'm gonna go outside with a baseball bat and hit it out of the atmosphere.

[After Shock Media]

Guess that really depends on where it hits and how big it is right?
Since humanity did just fine during the three impacts between 1908 and 1947.

On March 8, a hunk of stone and metal about the size of an 18-story building, made its closest approach to Earth, passing roughly 298,400 miles (480,200 kilometers) from the planet, just a bit farther out than the Moon, but a little too close for comfort for most astronomers.

But what was most disturbing was that the asteroid, later named 2002 EM7, passed virtually unseen. Not until March 12, when it had moved out of the glare of the Sun and into the night sky was it seen from Earth.

And it was not alone: On Jan. 7, an asteroid the size of three football fields came within two lunar distances and was spotted only a month before. Last October, a smaller asteroid passed by at a similar distance and was detected just two days prior.

For each nearby asteroid that is spotted, several pass entirely unnoticed, some closer to us than the Moon, scientists say. One researcher estimates that each year, 25 asteroids roughly as large as 2002 EM7 whiz by at even closer distances.

They slip through because of limitations to technology, telescope time, and funding.

These close brushes illustrate a message that asteroid researchers have repeatedly tried to hammer home to politicians and the public: The number of undiscovered asteroids far exceeds the known list, and the list needs to be filled out before it's too late.

Asteroid 2002 EM7 left a a pretty ominous message on its own: Only a tremendously expensive new telescopes -- placed outside Earth's orbit so as to monitor the blind spot created by the Sun -- could guarantee we won't suffer an unexpected and sudden impact. There would be a flash of brilliant light in the sky, and seconds later the world would change forever in a way that would render Sept. 11 an insignificant memory.

[chadknowslaw]

I'll be in the big group that dies during the initial impact, so I guess we just live it up until then. What makes anyone think they will survive??

[The Judge]

An impact event is commonly seen as a scenario that would bring about the end of civilization. Discover Magazine published a list of 20 likely end of the world scenarios with impact event listed as the number one most likely to occur. Until the 1980s this idea was not taken seriously, but all that changed after the discovery of the Chicxulub Crater which was further reinforced by witness to the Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 event. Since then there has been more interest from the scientific community and greater public awareness of the possibility of impact events.

There ya go!

Reminds me - I need to buy myself a new Slugger.

[jmcb420]

if it onlt kill one person, can it PLEASE get my exwife?

[OY]

[Xrated J]

im not...

[NosMo]

If I survive I will be fine. I have a nice glock.

Survival kit: MREs, Guns

I'm good.

Lets Do This!

[dready]

Good times.

[Peaches]

Read "Alas, Babylon" - very interesting book on this written back in, I think, the 60's. Guns, bullets, food and water will be the only currency if you live.

[Brother Bilo]

There can't be that much to prepare for. A castrophic event like that will either kill you or kill everything you would use to survive.

It would be difficult for anyone to survive such an impact, let alone the aftermath. But if I'm the group of the survivors, believe I'll be armed to the teeth, Red Dawn style.

Again do you read or do much research?
We have had three impacts in the last 100 years.

Staying in common human history now:
10,000 years ago an asteroid hit Canada.
Less than 10,000 years ago another hit Alice Springs in Australia causing 13 or 14 impact craters.
We seem to have had impacts in 3200 BC, 2300 BC, 1628 BC and 1159 BC
Then in 535 AD one caused two very long winters which is referred to as the dark ages.
About 800 years ago a comet or asteroid hit above New Zealand.
In 1490 a meteorite storm hit China with stones falling like rain, supposedly it killed tens of thousands of people.
1803 roughly 2500 or so meteorites nailed Normandy.

Then like I said in 1908 Siberia had an above ground asteroid explosion.
1930 a similar sized asteroid did an air burst like above in the Amazon
In 1947 Brazil got nailed and caused several craters.
Same year Siberia got nailed again causing about 122 craters.

The shit is just common people. Now I do think we have one coming damn close in 2023 on Friday the 13th, and there is a good possibility besides from it being visual without binoculars that it could come within the sweet spot of Earths gravity and when it comes back in 7 years that bit of gravity may have changed its path to one of an impact and if so well California is not looking so good but then again the line goes up the entire Pacific.

[tony286]

its amazing how little the government spends to watch the skies.

[Spunky]

When your numbers up,it's up..no sense worrying about it

[The Judge]

Look what happened in New Orleans with a relatively minor event. The Government could be preparing for such an event both from planning to missile the thing before it hits and from a disaster recovery point of view. I doubt anything is done.

in 2018 Ill convert 95% of my money into gold for preparation

[D Ghost]

I am not prepared

Eh i got my laptop ill be fine

You have only gone back 3000 years, which is a heartbeat in geologic terms. Earth has been pounded for millions of years and the asteroid we have witness in recent times are NOTHING compared to some of the catastrophic impacts that Earth has experienced.

Go back 65 million years ago to the asteroid impact known as the Cretaceous?Tertiary extinction event. An asteroid 4-9 miles in diameter that was responsible for the extinction of 80-90% of marine species and about 85% of terrestrial species. And that is just a baby....



Before that we had the Permian?Triassic extinction event,approx 250 million years ago, which was the Earth's most severe extinction event. Up to 96 percent of all marine species and 70 percent of terrestrial vertebrate species became extinct. This event has been described as the "mother of all mass extinctions"

Both of these events and the 3 other known major impacts would have results in no sunshine for not days, weeks or months but YEARS. An atmosphere thick with sulfurous gas. Super-volcanoes and mega-tsunamis would be the order of the day. Asteroid impact is the most likely 'end of world' scenario imho and there is very little we can do to prepare for it. Humans like to think we control everything but we are fucking NOTHING.

I am sure big guys won't let it happen .. something as large as 18 story building can be easily destroyed into pieces with some big missile or something..

Cheers guys.

Funny how space and gravity works. You blow it up and then gravity clumps it all back together again and now instead of one big rock you get hit by a shotgun effect. Oh and if you use a nuke you just compound the issue as we would then get pummelled by crap loads of radioactive debris.

Only situation that makes any sense is to slightly nudge it over time to change its course.

obviously, havent you ever seen Armageddon?

[Fizzgig]

I have an underground kingdom manned by Ooompa Loompas. I'm ready.

[StickyGreen]

There is an asteroid passing close to our solar system next week...

You mean have I made peace with my God? Yes, we are cool.
