    What if we throw someone/something at the comet and knock it out of the sky/into billions of pieces?

    Yeah I heard that all right. Ireland was going apparently to be spared any damage if we voted against. I assume he was talking about that time Earth skipped forward a half day so that we are now in direct line to being hit directly by the meteor.

    People have been trying to convince me that I simply drank too much and blacked out after the referendum passed, but I know the truth.

    It's customary to send at least one nuclear warhead at it.

    Having a few swift ones after the Creamery this morning, Dan Jimmy Cronin suggested that it was The Illuminati that caused the about turn in the Milk Quota saga. I left shortly after but later on, while passing the same pub, heard the best rendition of De Banks ever.

    true but often if fails either

    causing mass dispersal of the comet as fragment continue to head to the earth, though in fairness this is great for the amateur photographer.

    OR they send in an elite team of ex-cons (no wait mixing up Jerry Bruckhiemer movies)

    Either way it can only mean I post this

    Ah in fairness they've been right all along. I suspect I'll be doing something mundane like writing a report in work or cutting the grass. Does anyone know if a tin foil hat offers any protection against this?

    I watched a mini series on netflix called Cat8 that takes the whole send a nuke at it to a whole new level of absurdity. It's like they used an American born again Christian as the science adviser for the show.

    I just don't see how the Americans will be able to resist sending a nuke at it, so they might as well get it out of the way.

    If you are born again in America do you get citizenship?

    Russia will launch first, followed by China. America will then attack Russia and China as they have all the neclear war heads, Britain has continued talks with France and Germany questions why they don't have Nuclear weapons in events like these, after all German Engineering is the best

    Slight underestimation there Elmo. The swerve was to avoid the missile. Now back on track.

    They don't know what date it will impact but they know it will hit Earth? I'm no expert, but wouldn't the Earth be a quite few million miles further from where it was on Sep 15 by Sep 28?

    Had we listened to Arthur C Clarke then we would be safe now with various planetary and lunar colonies and wheeled space stations. Losing the Earth would be inconvenient but no biggie.

    But here we are having put all our eggs in one basket. And whatever aliens launched this foul weapon at us are laughing all the way to the bank.

    The files at Hangar one claims the US has spacecrafts up there, and will save us from doom.
    We can thank those aliens who crashed at Roswell for their technology.

    As for that comet, conspiracy theories should be ignored...

    After the fall of civilization,with low cunning and ruthless ambition, I fully expect to rise to the top of the remaining plebs and become supreme overlord of a small local town and a few of the better farms in the area.
    It's on my bucket list.

    Must be great technology up to a point. Being able to chart navigate interstellar space or interdimensional yet unable to fly in an atmosphere without crashing.

    Ahh Damn it efb.:mad: I was looking forward to seeing some really stylish gay weddings too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,958 ✭✭✭_Whimsical_


    If we all go down together then I could handle it. I'm just not going on my own while everyone else hangs around to enjoy the fun.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,159 ✭✭✭mrkiscool2


    It's alright lads! NASA says we can enjoy all the awesome gay weddings cause there is nothing on collision course with Earth!
    NASA knows of no asteroid or comet currently on a collision course with Earth, so the probability of a major collision is quite small.

    "In fact, as best as we can tell, no large object is likely to strike the Earth any time in the next several hundred years.

    If I know my Kerbal Space program, the comet will miss earth but fly close enough to do some atmospheric braking slowing it down enough to get captured in the earths gravity well, pass by earth to an enormous sigh of relief only for it to fall back down crushing all the godless heathens but not any churches.

    They would say that though wouldn't they, to protect their precious funding, cause we all know that the instant we all find out that there's gonna be an astroid impact, the first thing the U.S. government will do is cut the space program.

    I do hope that is a joke! If not then wow, you clearly don't know about all the other stuff NASA is doing (including an asteroid defence plan)
