Sadico 1 Posted July 24, 2002 Unlikely. It could destroy a continent though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What are you all going to do the 30th/31st of January 2019? And where do you think the asteroid would make the most damage? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Schweitzer 10 Posted July 24, 2002 Neo, you got to pay me for publishing that picture. Well at least if it doesnt hit us it will hit some of the satelites that fly in the stratosphere. So you might miss out some of your favourite satelite porn-channels for a few days and probably your GPS might not work. So if you intend to cross the Sahara that week with a container of water and GPS, better....... no, I mean, have a nice trip! Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tex -USMC- 0 Posted July 24, 2002 I think an asteroid would be awesome, especially if it didnt hit anywhere near me I think especially if it hit in the middle of the ocean and caused a massive tsunami, a la Deep Impact, that would be awesome. Especially since I live 600+ miles from and 5000 feet above the coast Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oligo 1 Posted July 25, 2002 An asteroid of this size is probably an Extinction Level Event or an ELE or affectionately "Ellie". Global climate change will knock us off the box. We're all doomed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paratrooper 0 Posted July 25, 2002 The thing is moving at 18 miles per second! What can be done, if it does line up with Earth? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The continent were it hits is fucked, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LauryThorn 0 Posted July 30, 2002 Now the scientists have "ruled out the impact" from this asteroid. Read more Maybe they secretly sent Bruce Willis or Ralph Wiggum to punch the asteroid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
