I love the way he/she kept referring to Earth as 'our planet'. 72 times it was mentioned. I was so fixated by that I don't know what the article is about. Are we going to die? I mean. soon? Was all that forum work for nowt?  :blink:

What bothers me is it wasn't spotted till a few days before... plus no mention till after the event??!?!?

Even if a collision date was known I reckon the capitalist money makers would keep us grunts in the dark.

still rather scary though that they only spotted it 2 days before, you would think with today's technology they would have somthing to detect it well before that :g:

You can imagine the 'headless chicken' syndrome kicking in if they tell the world 'You're all going to die on Thursday morning'. No one would pay their council tax, parking fines, take back library books, pay maintainence to ex wives. Crikey! Then where would we be? :rolleyes:

read a report by NASA a few months back, where they happily announced the worldwide now totally monitors 19% of the sky.. aint really much as its a big space out there..
 
i honestly cba to worry about it, as we probably wouldnt survive if a rock like the one in the Armageddon movie, were on impact course with earth, as i doubt a mission like armageddon one is possible anyways.. but sure looks good in movies... :)
 
If the earth goes boom, we wont feel a thing :D

I write down everything I want to remember. That way, instead of spending a lot of time trying to remember what it is I wrote down, I spend the time looking for the paper I wrote it down on.

If they ever announce an expected impact site I'd be the one heading towards it while everyone else is fleeing in the opposite direction.

My last words would be "WOW! Look at the tha ......." :D
