Imagine a meteor the size of the the american state of Texas hurtleing towards Earth. We wouldn't know until a couple of years before it hit but one could be heading our way right now. I didn't think about any of this until I saw "Armageddon" and "Deep impact". I'm normally don't really think about death and all that but do YOU think the Human race is prepared for a meteor ? :o

The only thing you can do is shoot it with a missile from earth, if it hits earth, we're all dead.
uh huh her

Nope.
& if there were one to hit, there'd be nothing we could do about it really.

Get some oil rig miners up in a space ship
drill a hole 800ft deep
drop a nuke in it
leave a dad on his own to detonate it
come back with a few people lost.
Soz but we are prepared

I watched a Program on this once, They were talking about shooting Nuclear Missles into the Metoer, The only problem is you have to get the right Meteor, There are HARD Metoers and ones that are like Sponge material, With the HARD one we would have to hit it in the right places to avoid it Shattering, With the sponge one we'd need very powerful Missles to bounce it away.

Hmm.. I don't think we can prepare much for a giant ball of fire hurdling through space at [insert big number here]mph.

The Ozone layer is a layer of gass-y kind of things. A pebble would fall through it.

Soz, being quite random ^^ but you've gotta admit the girl in armageddon is pretty hot lol, she's in alot of aerosmith's videos- crazy, etc
But the atmopshere can significantly burn away a meteor but somthing the size of texas wouldn't do anything really, it'd proabablystop the first wave of small meteorites usually found around the asteroid
uh huh her

Not sure but she is very hot ;)
To mizzmaz it is actually very likely.. a few years ago an asteroid was heading towards earth but it changed it's direction so we're safe-for now

Blah, let scientist worry about it, theres no point worrying
-Soph-
17-09-2006, 05:35 PM
We'd all be instantly dead when it hit anyway..
So theres nothing to worry about:)

I don't really care about it.
If we have to die, then we die :}
It's faith .

Wouldn't instantly die, The chances of a few people out of 6 Billion people living is quite high :)

17-09-2006, 05:59 PM
Then you live:p
If the people survive them surely the towns they live in will too.

luckly for us we live in reality and thanks to deep space tracking we know that there arnt any going to hit us for a good few billion years.. which as you may notice is slightly more than a year, and gives us plenty of notice.....

Lmao even if one was going to hit we wouldn't be prepared , come on were only human for god sake , we would just run around screaming or some shiz like that.
