The big one is coming by later today.  DA14 17200 miles from Earth (that is closer than our satellites that orbit the Earth) about 50 yards long and 190000 metric tons. I only heard about it a few days ago. Seems like it should be important?

:ugh:

 

Maybe some type of Armageddon mission would have been helpful? :popcorn:

From what I read they are supposedly unrelated. I guess we just wont the galactic lottery or maybe some scientists aren't as smart as they think they are. I've been browsing several videos. This think had several shock waves. In the following video you can hear the waves. The segment starts at 1:40

Crazy stuff!

Crazy,

I thought it was a hoax but it's on the networks so it's slightly more credible than fiction. Here's a link to some cool videos.

Maybe we should prepare for teotwawki!

Interesting, from the article:

 

 

According to unconfirmed reports, the meteorite was intercepted by an air defense unit at the Urzhumka settlement near Chelyabinsk. A missile salvo blew the meteorite to pieces at an altitude of 20 kilometers, local newspaper Znak reported quoting a source in the military.

The regional Emergency Ministry denied that military air defenses were involved in the incident.

We could just launch him into its path

Maybe his ego will catch it. Or even better maybe the meteorite will see him and say "nope, nope, nope, not going there."

Maybe this was what the Mayans were talking about. I bet they didn;t count for leap years or daylight savings time :)

He must be an old hard liner from the soviet days.

 

I was kind of thinking he is the Stacy Campfield over there.
