Jun 28 2010In Case Of Fire Asteroid, Break Glass Nuke It

Sweet Pic.

"change in its orbital period" - hehe :) Hope she isn't pregnant.

you know what else we can use nukes for? the middle east....

Yes, more like the 50 megaton variety for diverting Iran from it's wreckless path

I'll destroy it with my "Go-Go Gadget Penis"..... or something

Who cares!!! My boyfriend thinks the same with me. He- is eight years older than me, lol. We met online at an age gap dating site[ S E E K C O U G A R (C 0 /M)_]---a nice and free place for Younger- Women and Older Men, or Older Women and Younger Men, to interact with each other. Maybe you wanna check out or- tell your friends

dude ill just whip out my dinosaur dick and ill hit a home run with that astroid

@8 -- Good luck with that -- the Dinosaurs who actually had Dino Dicks could not stop the their extinction

That's unless Anubis rigged it with naquadah.

There are several problems associated with nuking an astroid or comet.

Instead of one giant rock, we will be hit with billions smaller rocks. And these are all radioactive. So instead of dying all at once, we will die of radiation sickness over a much longer and painfull time.

@11 they're not talking about blowing it up into millions of pieces. The explosion would cause the rock's path to change, and obviously it'd have to be done faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar from Earth, not bewteen us and the Moon.

no kame hame ha wave then?

This reminds me of an episode of Futurama for some reason.

@14
There is an episode of Futurama where there is a huge stinky ball of garbage heading towards the earth, so they wind up creating an equally large stinky ball of garbage to shoot towards the first ball, and knock it off of its course.... or something

"When a problem comes along, you must nuke it."

So that's great an all if we can knock it off course (and avoid a hailstorm of radioactive mini-asteroids), but we have to evaluate which course it could potentially take after such a diversion...you know, like towards our sun. That might be bad. Or another planet in our solar system. That might be bad, too. I hope the assholes in charge will think it though, but they probably won't.

OLD Also why not just move the earth instead of moving the Asteroid?

Stupid ass idea. Most of the nukes don't have the capability to be shot out of earths atmosphere. They're not designed to hit something outside earth orbit and even if they were, how do you assign targets to antiquated nukes without a GPS coord for a target balistic trajectory?

I say we just take a pokeball and get one of the astronauts to pikachu it into submission before catching that mo fo.

Or you could get Brittany Spears to lay on her back with her legs in the air and catch it with her cavernous lady parts. I'm sure there's room for a death star in there. Just sayin

Why nuke it.

A tractor is less expensive and less risky.

@ 15 HEYOO! *high-five*

I'd release the Kraken. That'll pretty much solve any problem. That and Bruce Willis.

If everyone on Earth started blowing vuvuzelas non-stop 24/7 then the asteroid would avoid us fo shur. And if it didn't, well, extinction won't seen too bad in a world full of vuvuzelas.

I don't suppose we could get that asteroid to plug the hole in the gulf?

Q: What should you do when threatened by a huge ass-hemorrhoid from space?
A: Evacuate.

@13 it's Kamehameha just a little fyi..also try using google for words you're not sure you know how to spell...just sayin'...or saiyan...or somethin'

@dishy, Bruce Willis doesn't solve anything...John McClane does. Yippie-kai-ae mother fucker

Typo: Armageddon.

Jus' sayin'.

Just to clarify, I know @13 spelled it correctly he just put unnecessary spaces in there...also it was a joke :p

@19 dude you fail >_> you think probe are gided by GPS or what it would just be luncher like a probe to go near the asteorid by simple math and path calculation then make it explode ASIDE the asteroid so first it dont blow up in a shower and second its just push it a bit so farther its distanced for millions of kilometers

How come we can plan a solution for an "unlikely event" like an asteroid crash but cant figure out how to plug a fucking oil well?

Well that would be a decent idea if we all were not being led down the utopian pipedream by Obama, merrily getting rid of nukes just as other countries are trying to build them, but hey Im sure the Iranians or North Koreans can be counted on to accurately hit something in space...... If all else fails the Russians are thinking about building a cannon that can nail asteroids.

The problem is that enivronmentalists wouldn't let us because we'd mess up the delicate ecosystem of the void of space. Stupid smelly hippies.

a nuke would have no effect on a riod, we need build some thing hvy and have smash into it. Think rod from god.
