A big ass asteroid is on a collision course with earth and could be the end of the world as we know it
With our current tech, how can we feasibly deal with it? Giant ass laser? Bruce Willis? Ive heard of nuking it but uh...what if the nuke misses? Lol Also, would it be a big enough catastrophic event to harbor a global temporary peace? Or would it just create mass panic, looting, etc? --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

When I was a kid I remember a retro PC game where you collect wrenches and build a slingshot to deflect a meteor from hitting the Earth
This topic reminded of that game and I can't remember what it was called, it's driving me mad --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair. https://imgtc.com/i/14JHfrt.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

Mass deeding Yes! If every male on earth deeded into the atmosphere towards the asteroid, we found either change its course or destroy it entirely! Brilliant! --- "There are no men like me. There's only me."-Jaime Lannister ... Copied to Clipboard!

But honestly, we'd be pretty fucked. There are lasers we could currently build that would likely deflect it, but we don't have the infrastructure up there to get it done in a hurry. So why don't we build the infrastructure now just in case so we are prepared if it happens? ... Copied to Clipboard!

Last I heard of the NASA plan was a few years ago, but we would probably know the asteroid is coming years or decades in advance. The plan would then be to send a big satellite out to sit next to the asteroid for years, slowly altering the path via gravitational pull between the asteroid and satellite. Altering the path by just a tiny fraction of a degree when it is travelling that huge distance would cause it to miss.

I think we should just let it hit us and cause our extinction. Who are we to interfere with the way things have been done since the beginning of time?

Altering the path by just a tiny fraction of a degree when it is travelling that huge distance would cause it to miss. That's pretty fucking cool My fantasy plan would be to install huge ass turbines at major points around the earth and use them to spin the earth around it's solar orbit faster so the asteroid would miss But there's probably a million things wrong with that plan lmao --- ...

Altering the path by just a tiny fraction of a degree when it is travelling that huge distance would cause it to miss. This. But in a short term emergency the best course would be successive nuking. Blast it apart and keep blasting each fragment until theyre small enough to uust burn in the atmosphere. May end up irradiating most of the planet but that can be dealt with somewhat. Cant really recover if an Armageddon type asteroid is 18 days away. --- FC: 4141 8354 8137 ... Copied to Clipboard!

But the order of the universe is that asteroids destroy life and the Earth will spring forth a new dominating species. I don't think it's morally responsible to nature to interrupt the course of life. If an asteroid is headed directly for Earth then it is simply the end of our time. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I think we will ultimately destroy ourselves before a natural extinction event occurs anyway. We are eventually going to start running out of food, water, and natural resources.
Do you think that China, Russia, and the United State are just going to sit idly and share those resources? ... Copied to Clipboard!
