According to the bbc article, theres a decent chance Earth might get creamed by a 2km asteroid in 17 years, but astronomers think it will end up missing us. Still, they say its the most threatning flying spacerock theyve ever discovered

thats bullshit man, dont believe every single shit article you read.
BBC might be very good and so on, but hey, everyone makes misstakes

Reminds me of the movies Armageddon and Impact(?) or whatever it was called, did it say where on Earth it would crash? Sounds a little weird..

LOL i remember that game

Why is everyone so sceptical. A meteor could easily be heading our way. Hell it happened before. I think its possible, but im not worried because there is technology to deal with it(i think)

Cant you just blow that bitch up?

Uhm... its not bullshit. Asteroid impacts are events that have actually happened, and will happen again, eventually. Find a good, detailed picture of the moon, or go outside with a telescope. Look at all the gigantic craters in it. Beleive it or not, if it wernt for erosion and plants to cover it up, Earth would look about the same.

Just in the past year, 2 asteroids have come dangerously close to Earth, and noone even noticed either of them until they had already passed by. About 30 small asteroids (a few meters long) fly into the atmosphere and explode every year.

The odds of a huge asteroid creaming us and causing major damage is pretty slim, but it DOES happen.

acctually the reason the moon has craters and earth doesnt
isnt becuase of those reasons
but becuase earth has an atomosphere and the moon doesnt

I read it too..it's on the Dutch newssite aswell

Got me thinking: how many asteroids have _just_ passed the earth without the general public knowing about it?

I guess they'd rather keep those things quiet! I mean..what could we do about it? We = the people without atombombs in their garage
