I've heard about an Asteroid heading towards earth and hitting near Puerto Rico. I read an article where this prophet had a vision about this Asteroid, and that's where i thought to myself ... this has to be a hoax and a lie .. so now i am not worried at all.

What do you think?

It's has a very very very low chance of impact. I'm not really worried. Also I don't deal with people who claim to prophets or people who say there "Insert religious text here" say this is the end times. It does nothing but make we wish I was in another galaxy just to be away from them.

If it doesn't hit, then life goes on.

If it does hit, well, too bad.

Well, I want to at least play a few hours of Fallout 4 before it hits, and FO4 doesn't come out until November!

Its not like it will blow up the planet...

its actually an alien device that is designed to turn all machines sentient to cripple the worlds military power allowing us to be harvested easier for enslavement under a trans-Galactic Empire and so they can use us as their tentacle playthings.. the homeless guy infront of the liquor store said so, so it must be true..





in all seriousness though, you have nothing to worry about.. space Debris come close to earth daily, and most either fly right by us or mostly burn up in the atmosphere during entry...

worrying about that kind of stuff is both useless and unhealthy, because you can not effect it and stressing out about it is not good for the body.... like my great-grandmother said to me shortly before she passed away "the key to a long happy life, is not getting caught up and focusing on things which are beyond your means to change. instead, focus on things you can have a meaningful effect on, and simply be happy for the things you have."..

If it was a big deal, I can assure you the world would be putting plans together to stop the asteroid from hitting the earth. The fact that they havent means there is nothing to worry about.

Is Bruce Willis or Wil Smith available?

considering how long its been since Wil Smith was in a decent movie, probably

From what I've read, there ISN'T an asteroid of any real size even coming near us in September. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/asteroid-headed-to-destroy-earth-almost-certainly-isnt-real-nasa-says-10476173.html

It's all nutjobs/conspiracy theorists apparently.

Just don't get Michael Bay on board.

It depends on the size.

So that's how it looks like:

Scientists predict it would take an impact from an asteroid of 1km (0.6miles) in length and upwards to actually kill off most life on the planet.

But something as small as 50 metres could destroy all of London out to the M25 boundary, and a space rock of 100 metres long or more could devastate a continent, causing mass destruction and tsunamis.

--------

Of the six due to pass, those on September 23, 27 and 28, are estimated as being up to 57, 39, and 31 metres long respectively.

On the 22 two asteroids are expected to whistle past - one of up to 190 metres long, and the second one about 280 metres long.

You will have the change to play Fallout 4 for sure...

Paul Chodas, of Nasa's Near-Earth Object office at its Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California, said: "There is no existing evidence that an asteroid or any other celestial object is on a trajectory that will impact Earth."

In fact, not a single one of the known objects has any credible chance of hitting our planet over the next century.

"Nasa has also published a statement on its website reassuring the global public the scare stories are not true.Mr Chodas added:

"There is no scientific basis, not one shred of evidence, that an asteroid or any other celestial object will impact Earth on those dates.

"If there were any object large enough to do that type of destruction in September, we would have seen something of it by now. "Nasa DOES tracks about 13,000 "near-Earth asteroids"

Of the 13,000 around 1,607 are classified as "potentially hazardous" meaning they are big enough and come within a few million miles of Earth - a distance considered a brush past in cosmic terms.

--------------

So, chances of an impact around that time or within the next few hundred years are equal to zero.

"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world."

1 John 4:1 (Book 1 - Chapter 4 - Verse 1)

As Casey said, if this asteroid posed a significant threat to all life on Earth and it was definitely, without a shred of a doubt, hurdling towards us, it'd be on the news the world over. Almost overnight, every nation with the power to stop that asteroid would be working around the clock to figure out a way to stop it. Since this doesn't appear to be the case, I think we've nothing to worry about.

Space is huge, OK? Really huge. It'd take us about three months to get to the moon. We'd have more chances of being struck by our own moon than we do being struck by a giant asteroid.

And really, we're pelted with asteroids almost all the time, it's just that most of them get burnt up in the Earth's atmosphere and they're so stupidly small by cosmic standards that they aren't even worth mentioning.

Well we better get to training for when it hits: https://youtu.be/WYSupJ5r2zo .

No time for movies. He’s been dealing with this impending asteroid issue…

Now you know that the guys in black suits and sun glasses are gona pay you a visit to find out how you got your hands on a top secret training simulation.

Eh I'm not afra--------{get's dragged of by The Man}.

It is actually a Reaper, it is coming to put some probes near our planet, since the mass relay near pluto detected our probe New Horizons. Since then, they started observating us.

NASA better speed things up so we can get to Mars.. time to get a head start on that crucible..

Exactly.

and put a colourful ending to them.

This sounds interesting then...

> It'd take us about three months to get to the moon. <

Not that long, really !!!

The Apollo missions in comparison were fairly quick to reach the Moon.

The Apollo 11 astronauts were launched atop a huge Saturn V multi-stage rocket on July 16th 1969 from Kennedy Space Centre.

They reached lunar orbit after only three days in space on July 19th 1969. (to be precise: 3 days, 3 hours, 49 minutes)

---------

By far the fastest mission to fly past the Moon was NASA’s New Horizons Pluto mission.

Rockets powering the probe to over 58.000 km/hr to give it a good start on its long trip to the outer Solar System and Pluto.

However, it’s worth mentioning that New Horizons was not slowing down to enter lunar orbit (like the Moon-specific mission above), so it was probably still accelerating.

I took New Horizons 8 hours and 35 minutes to cover the 380,000 km distance. That's very Impressive. !!!
