Well today a huge asteroid passed by, if earth was 15 minutes slow it would have hit. It had a diameter of 45 meters, but
if it would have hit it would cause massive damage, or so says the news.

I don't believe we have any defenses against monster space chunks.

Which scares me.

We could blow it up, but that would just spread the damage....

I think we need more research done on this instead of just crossing our fingers and hoping we won't get hit.

I agree with you, SS. We've done an awful lot of sitting around waiting for meteors to hit and not doing much to prevent it. Then again, I don't suppose there's much we /can/ do. ^^;

We'd need to develop the technology to prevent it, that dosent happen overnight. First they have to figure out how to keep it from crashing into Earth.

The have lots of plans but, they mainly lack cash. Because other things are more important somehow.

We could just follow Patrick's spectacular advice.

The way the world works infuriates me, we're focused on things so inferior and ignoring things that could utterly destroy us. Not that I can say much, I'm hardly doing anything to help.

There are people working on it.
I've heard that we aren't putting enough research into it.

I'm not completely sure how accurate my statements are, I'm speaking from prior knowledge. I lack the real information required to confirm anything I'm saying. If you have evidence to prove me wrong, please, speak up.

For all I know half the stuff I know about science could be complete garbage, it's all been supplied to be by textbooks and TV shows. I don't do any research into this kinda stuff.

The last major impact was the Tunguska Event, which took place in Siberia in 1908. It was a meteor or comet 100 meters across and it exploded 5-10 km in the air with the explosive force of 10-15 megatons of TNT. For comparison, the most powerful nuke the US ever tested was 15 megatons. The area was uninhabited, but it leveled about 80,000 trees.

Conclusion: Space has it out for Russia.

Russia was the first to put stuff into space, so Russia will be the first that space murders.

Wouldn't it have the highest chance of hitting the ocean, since the ocean covers most of the world?

Probably, yeah. If I remember right, there are actually thousands of meteors that hit the ocean each year.
