| MOSCOW � Russia is considering sending a spacecraft to a large asteroid to knock it off its path and prevent its collision with Earth � a collision NASA considers highly unlikely � the head of the country's space agency said Wednesday. Anatoly Perminov said the space agency will hold a meeting soon to assess a mission to Apophis, telling Golos Rossii radio that it would invite NASA, the European Space Agency, the Chinese space agency and others to join the project once it is finalized. When the 270-meter (885-foot) asteroid was first discovered in 2004, astronomers estimated the chances of it smashing into Earth in its first flyby in 2029 were as high as 1-in-37, but have since lowered their estimate. Further studies ruled out the possibility of an impact in 2029, when the asteroid is expected to come no closer than 18,300 miles (29,450 kilometers) above Earth's surface, but they indicated a small possibility of a hit on subsequent encounters. In October, NASA lowered the odds that Apophis could hit Earth in 2036 from a 1-in-45,000 as earlier thought to a 1-in-250,000 chance after researchers recalculated the asteroid's path. It said another close encounter in 2068 will involve a 1-in-330,000 chance of impact. |
people fail to realize that "save the world" is really just a euphemism for "destroy the united states" in russia's eyes here. they do plan to knock part of the asteroid off of it's course, naturally....directly into new york city.
we should preempt this attack with nuclear holocaust. thoughts?

Scientists estimate that 3 or 4 asteroids miss us by a couple hundred miles every week. It's pretty impossible to tell where they are until after they go by us. The number of people in the world looking for asteroids that will hit us is only slightly more than the number of people who work at a McDonalds. We're all more likely to die in a car accident or from lung cancer/liver failure than get hit by an asteroid, set off a black hole at CERN, or get killed by terrorists on an airplane.
the only reported case of something being killed by an asteroid was a dog in egypt.
