Just to spoil this spa...errrm fun thread - the article I posted says also the asteroid would not hit the moon. Does anyone of the little Einsteins
here know what kind of effect for us earthlings a collision of a big asteroid with the moon could have?

Not much beyond some fireworks in the sky. Well, debris could head our way, which might be unpleasant if they're big enough, but on the whole it shouldn't be much to worry about.

Thats no asteroid.......Its an attack!!!!
I knew it, after all this time and my predictions were laughed at by the science boffs at nasa
I've calculated it will hit in the mid atlantic ocean causeing tsunami to destroy much of east coast USA and western europe.
hmmm........by my calculations both 2029 and 2037 are wrong, they havent factored in that this 'asteroid' has booster rockets to direct it........if i remember correctly my last calculations had it hitting in 2013, followed by another in 2014 and one in 2015.

When I hear about these big asteroids that could hit us 20 years from now, I always think that there must be some technology that we could use to eliminate the threat or at least reduce the damage. What that technology is . .. . I have no idea but there must be something on the books that we could use given a 20 year warning or more... Use a bunker buster bomb to blast the thing to smitereens ?? I don't know.You don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto LuongoComment

Well, just off the top of my head, how about putting together a team of maverick oil workers to land on the asteroid, drill into its centre and plant an explosive device.Originally posted by Flubber

Creating many smaller fragments, one of which is much more likely to create a substantial ocean strike. I loathe most modern Science Fantasy movies.The worst form of insubordination is being right - Keith D., marine veteran. A dictator will starve to the last civilian - self-quoted

A better idea would probably be to have a nuke go off next to it, "gently" push it into a new orbit. You don't need change its speed or velocity much to stop a collision if you do it early enough.Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?
