i first heard this from Wilbon while watching PTI. So then i googled it.

Its pretty crazy stuff.

Wow... could you imagine a catastrophe of that magnitude? 800 sq miles?? We'd be like- "Look, it's a bird.... it's a plane... it's a........" Glad I didn't know about that 'til now.

exactly

if people knew what really goes on, their stupid little heads would explode lol

First, don't we watch the freaking sky for this stuff? Why did we not see it until it was so close. I mean, we need ample time to get Ben and Bruce in the ship and get the drilling equipment ready.

Second, 44,000 miles is close? I understand that in the grand scheme that is the Universe, 44k miles is pretty close, but in Earth talk it is friggin far as hell. Call me when we're talkin' feet okay.

As factually inaccurate as that movie wa,s they were right about the fact that we get to watch about 1% of the sky in deep space. Not only for budegtary reasons, but, just how hard it is to actually track stuff in space with our limited telescopes.
Kind of a scary thought huh?

[broncsfan21]

Well nothing that comes close to earth that isn't from our solar system, because the gravity of the sun is what causes them to pass by us, so we don't really need telescopes to be that powerful. They do have a program to find these, but as of now they are only required to find objects over 1 km in diameter that are headed in our general direction.

Yeah I'll be worried when we here that an asteroid took out a plane or a flock of birds or something.


Talking about how powerful this thing is brings up a question. The article said it was similar to the size of one over Siberia and that one was incredibly strong (like 1000x stronger than the Hiroshima bombing) and this got me wondering. Everytime we see video of a nuclear explosion the trees are always being blown really hard and just flattened where when one goes off in a city, everything is utterly obliterated. How is it trees are able to only get branches blown off and whatnot but buildings get shallacked?

Trees > buildings

Would it be considered a tragedy if it hit Mcafee Stadium(is that what its called nowadays? or is it just Raiders Colleseum?)

I think that's what actually created the "black hole".

Well then I guess we have proof that theres life beyond our galaxie.

I would have caught it, if I thought it was gonna kill us.

Kinda like those other things you "caught"?

Note to self: If Asteroid is headed to ebsorias house, don't catch it.
