Well, I always said I wish the end would wait till I got married and actually knew what sex was
This sucker is HUGE on the NASA website...I think their monitoring it all day and all night tonight. It's supposed to pass earth only 334,000 miles away...which in space terms is like a car length for us here on earth.
Anyway, it's an interesting story and will be way cool to see even if it doesn't slam into us
Well, here's my suggestion about this.......i think we need to call in the worlds best deep core driller....i believe his name is Harry Stamper.....he works on oil rigs out in the ocean. NASA can have him and his crew go up to the asteroid, drill 800 feet, drop a nuclear warhead into the asteroid and blow it up.....the asteroid will split in 2 and miss the earth. In case a member of the crew doesn't make it back home....like i don't know, maybe Harry, they can give his astronaut patch to Truman, who works at NASA. See, Truman always wanted to spacewalk, but had an accident and couldn't do it. Anyway, Harry has a pretty good team to take with him too.....there's Rockhound, Bear, Chick, AJ, Oscar and a few others. On their way to the asteroid, they can stop at the Russian Spacestation and pick up Russian Cosmonaut, Yuri Andropov and then........oh wait, thats the plot of the movie Armaggedon.......ok, ummm, nevermind.......we now return you to your regularly scheduled program.
