This could suck

[Cyclones01]

my great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great grandchildren are totally screwed!

Ha! Joke's on you, Asteroid, we'll already have destroyed the planet by ourselves.

I'm guessing that with our luck, 2880 will be the year the Iowa State finally has a shot at a football National Championship only to see it cut short when the asteroid hits during halftime.

 

[Clone1138]

1 in 300 chance. We'll either have the technology by then, or will have blown ourselves up.

A couple of photon torpedoes should do the trick.

 

[brianhos]

I am ok with them just letting this one hit...

 

[pourcyne]

I'm not worried thanks to the Rosetta probe that has already rendezvoused (eh, it's a European probe, after all) with Comet P67P/CG, taking its picture and posting all over the internet to prove that it's not really a comet, just a flying ice-pig. The humiliation on Facebook alone will certainly cause this fugly comet to implode. I'm sure the same technique will work on the bigger comet. Social media will once again save the earth from destruction. Mark my words.

 

[Clone1138]

I hope it lands on Fargo.

If an asteroid hit Fargo, how would we be able to tell?

 

[TruClone]

Just squirt it with a very large tube of Preparation H. That should take care of it.

 

[PabloDiablo]

Relax y'all. We'll be fine.

Man, I'm glad you picked that crew and not the crew of unsuccessful bums from Deep Impact.

 

[ISUCubswin]

Don't worry guys, me and my boys have this.

Sir, I will have you know that Robert Duvall's Captain Spurgeon "Fish" Tanner was no bum, but an American hero!

Sure they only the blew up one of the two asteroids and the remaining one decimated the entire east coast, but those are minor details.

Seriously though, Deep Impact blew goats. It was like the Lifetime movie version of a disaster film. Tea Leoni as the main character tells you all you need to know. She's more worried about rekindling her relationship with her deadbeat dad than the end of the world.

The asteroid has a diameter of one kilometre and is travelling at nine miles a second relative to the Earth, which it would hit at 38,000 miles per hour.
The impact would have a force of around 44,800 megatonnes of TNT and cause a huge explosion, tsunamis and change the climate of the globe, devastating human life.

We better do something now. Is O back from vacation?

 

[Wesley]

I hope it lands on Fargo.

That would be like 300-500 nuclear warheads in one spot.

Researchers at the University of Tennessee have discovered that blowing the space rock up could make the collision worse by causing several devastating impacts.

Are we even sure it's space rock in the first place?

[Doc]

I hope it lands on Fargo.

it'd just bounce off that new DT of theirs. Oh, and Oil money!

 

[CoKane]

Might as well just end it now. Why live when everything will be gone in over 800 years?

 

[GTO]

Yeah, but it would hit LakeBison first.

Wasn't Lakes a baseball player? He would probably just bat it right back out to space...

The only real question is if we will win a conference championship before then. At least we know how long we have to get the job done.
