Can Humanity Stop A Planet-Killing Asteroid?

Sources & further reading:

Some killer asteroids were found only days before flyby. If they had struck Earth, the power of thousands of nuclear bombs would have flattened cities and killed millions.
What if we spotted a 100-meter asteroid just two weeks before collision? Can humanity be saved?

  1. "My husband used to ejaculate so fast." (Tasteless embarrassing Youtube commercial trying to get you to go premium because it's not decent enough to have playing when the in-laws are over having dinner…. (And he's getting off so fast because he keeps pretending she's a dude. Remember only you content creators can complain about immature ejaculation or is it premature ejaculation or is it just ejaculation cuz when you start talking about ejaculation then you start ejaculating and then next thing you know all that ejaculate it's just jacking all over the place …. You know. )

  2. I’ll let you guys know that we saw asteroid. It would take a year for people to work together. Come together as a country just acknowledged that the Astro exist let alone launch something so yeah, we definitely would die.

  3. It would be so cool if the USA or any nation just had a world-saving operation in their backyard, already premade. Like, a planet killer is coming and they’re just like “yeah, no biggie, send in the fleet”

    This could become a reality, now that I think about it.

  4. The most haunting detail at: Stopping a planet-killer comet literally requires a human crew on an absolute one-way suicide mission to manually align the penetrators.

    If you were chosen, would you honestly sacrifice yourself to save 8 billion strangers, or stay on Earth and spend your last days with your family? Tell me your real choice.
