vga, w Don’t panic, but an asteroid has a 1.9% chance of hitting Earth in 2032

Can we launch a satellite at it, perhaps detonate a huge nuke on it to make that chance higher?

Wait, we could just detonate all those huge nukes here right now. Show that stupid asteroid.

rickyrigatoni,

Nuke the far side of the moon and plunge it into earth. Give the asteroid inadequacy issues.

threelonmusketeers,

Wouldn’t detonating on the forward side rather than the zenith side be most effective at lowering the perigee of the moon?

rickyrigatoni,

all i remember from my ksp days is add more struts

Krik,

all i remember from my ksp days is add more struts boosters

Fixed it for you.

rickyrigatoni,

Alas, without the struts, the boosters shall return unto The Lord, leaving thine kerbalnauts Kerbinbound.

Comment105,

You think humanity would be in this spot if the average person had a fucking clue whatsoever?

Panic?!

You mean throw a welcome party?

i don’t like those odds. anything we can do to bump it up to around 75%-100%?

Chakravanti,

Sync Earth’s magnetic union of it’s core a bit finer and it will do exactly that.

Those are better odds than the lottery. Has anyone set up a betting pool yet?

that was Trump chances in 2016…

parpol, w Don’t panic, but an asteroid has a 1.9% chance of hitting Earth in 2032

To people having panic attacks, it is not large enough to destroy the earth, and we would have plenty of time to evacuate the impact location. Though let’s hope it isn’t anywhere with permafrost.

Jimmycakes,

You mean populate the impact zone because I’m going to watch

Yeah, my dogs will be gone by then so I would absolutely set up a tent close enough to catch it. I’d even bring a baseball glove for shits and giggles.

taiyang,

Aw, you think we’ll still have permafrost by then.

@photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

It’ll be an equatorial impact.

SuperSaiyanSwag,

Well that’s disappointing

adarza, w Don’t panic, but an asteroid has a 1.9% chance of hitting Earth in 2032

is there any way to hurry it along?

MrTrono, w Don’t panic, but an asteroid has a 1.9% chance of hitting Earth in 2032

Am I supposed to panic because it’s unlikely to hit? Meanwhile I’m out here wishing for death by meteor.

threelonmusketeers,

Just in case this comment is not a joke, here’s the WHO page on suicide prevention.

Either way, there are a few billion other people on this planet who would rather not die by meteor, thank you very much.

PhobosAnomaly,

I mean, if I was going to go out, then getting my shit mixed by a meteor is pretty awesome. I’m sure I’ll make it on to a few Buzzfeed articles over the next ten or twenty years.

All things considered though, it would indeed be nice if it landed somewhere inconsequential like the ocean; the desert; or Florida.

threelonmusketeers, (edited )

Florida

You jest, but the Kennedy Space Center is in Florida. Putting the world’s busiest spaceport out of commission might put a damper on future asteroid deflection missions…

grue,

Eh, they can launch from Vandenburg if it’s that important. (Or, ya know, Guiana or Baikonur or whatever.)

Mirshe,

Assuming any foreign space agency will work with NASA now…

murmelade,

Hell yeah this would be my choice too on preferred way to die. There’s something beautifully deterministic about it, a random space rock flying around for millions of years and all my lifes choices and circumstances ending up in standing on the exact spot the meteorite ends its journey. Right in my head. Lovely.

ShaggySnacks,

What about hitting the Republican National Conference?

lordnikon,

Not to be a doomer but most of us will be dead by then I just hope the meteor takes out any lucky oligarchs still alive in a bunker.

Omgpwnies,

You think “most of us” will be dead in … 7 years? That’s pretty doomer if you ask me.

lordnikon,

I just read the ipcc reports and if you read those and don’t start a bucket list for the time we have left. I don’t know what to tell you. Trust me I don’t want to be this way I will fight where I can but I’m going to live my life the same time way a terminal patient lives. Cherish the days we got and if I’m wrong I will eat crow happily with a big smile on my face.

llamacoffee,
@llamacoffee@lemmy.world avatar

Very doomer. Does lemmy have a “remind me in 7 years” bot? 😅

LouNeko,

Yeah I’ll take one for the team. I go to the point of impact and when it finaly hits, I’m gonna try to punch it back into orbit.

You don’t have to thank me.

@joelfromaus@aussie.zone avatar

Honestly, at this point, there might be enough of us volunteering to bounce that fucker back to Jupiter. A lot of us will be turned into jam but I think it’s worth the sacrifice.

MrTrono,

But I’m on team meteor

The sad thing is that this was all telegraphed and baked into the platform. If people are kicking themselves now, it’s too late.

NASA needs to pull a parks service circa 2017.

sigmaklimgrindset,

And Parks Services members are out there protesting this time around too. What chads.

Way to dishonor Katherine Johnson, Christine Darden, Mary Jackson and everyone else who were women and/or those who were of different race who helped us get to the moon and back.
