Jem Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 "An asteroid recently rediscovered after a 50-year absence could be on a collision course with Earth, NASA astronomers reported. But the planet has 877 years and 11 months to prepare for the potential catastrophe." The asteroids size is roughly 0.6 miles (1.1 km) across. More details here Ok so we have 877 years and 11 month to build a big gun, like in Quake II, so we can blast that thing out of it's course! Scramble! Let's get working! I'l be the head engineer gun building coordinator, so who's got a lead on the way the "Big Gun" should be built ? Or maybe we should just build a Death Star ? Or maybe we should just stop caring about this because none of us will be alive when the collision happens, let the future generation worry about it... R2D2 ! Report in on status! : "T minus 27 685 584 000 seconds left..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 Yeah,.. I'm really gonna lose a lot of sleep over this one, let me tell ya'. If the human race is still alive and not extinct by then, and we still choose to inhabit this planet, then it's thier problem. I think, right now, we need just to be worrying as to whether or not we will even make it that far. A few, more pressing issues need to be dealt with first, if you know what I mean. Then we can think about the big, doom rock. Chances are there's another one out there scheduled to slam into us long before that that we know nothing about right now anyway...

Rogue Nine Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 Sounds good to me. Unless we blow up the moon or something, like we did in the movie The Time Machine. Really crappy flick, by the way, but interesting concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 hehehe the news is stupid. they claim an asteroid is heading towards earth, yet they don't say 'you'll be dead before it hits earth so u won't feel a thing' and also they don't say anything about the odds. stupid rating bs. hehehehehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander 598 Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 CNN reported that the chances of it hitting were 300:1. But thats 800 years away so it could change like a comet plows into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nute Gunray Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 Stupid UPS. I ordered that asteroid nine weeks ago and it was supposed to take 8 weeks to get here, not 800 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoom Rabbit Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 Wally the space dolphin says that the asteroid is his fault, and he's sorry. He also wants to say that he isn't so much as touching that asteroid until we end all net-fishing for tuna and ban propellors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 You tell Wally that the people of the earth do not negotiate with terr... Whoa... If I'd accopanied that with a few B-52's, I'd be George Dubya Bush... Ack-Yuk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deac Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 Haven't any of you seen those asteroid/comet movies? All we have to lose is Bruce Willis or some other idiot! Humanity will be safe! 300:1 chance of it hitting at all. Almost impossible with 28th Century technology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Nine Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 I just finished watching Armageddon. Funny as hell. The rock isn't even bigger than Rhode Island. The one that Bruce Willis had to blow to hell was the size of Texas. Bah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edlib Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 Now,.. all we gotta do is clone a race of super soldiers, arm them with all the cyborg technology from n00t's "Holy Cow!" thread, and sic them on the big, bad space rock. Ahh,.. if that all comes true I'll never go to the movies again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jem Posted April 6, 2002 Author Share Posted April 6, 2002 Or we could just let the Chinese take care of it since they're planning on having their own Space Station <bgsound src="http://membres.lycos.fr/zetorealm/DOOM2T.MID" loop="1"> I'm sure this will lead in an Space Cold War Crisis... BTW, I added the disturbing music you can hear to create a chilling and uneasy Ambiance and to have a stronger feeling of the tragedy and DOOMness of this whole Asteroid situation... If it bothers anyone then say so, I will remove it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nute Gunray Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 Get this: Hordes of <i>cyborg clones of Hitler</I>, that ride <i>dinosaurs</i> and are <i>pregnant with Satan's child</i> are enlisted by the <i>Chinese Triads</i> to destroy a <i>time traveling asteroid</i> that the <i>Knights Templar</i> send back to wipe out an elite squad of <i>American counterterrorists</i> in 2003, before they can kill an <i>Arab terrorist mastermind</I> and thwart the <i>vast Masonic conspiracy</i> inadvertently. Now THAT is a movie. EDIT: Also the Knights Templar and the Masons are receiving orders from <i>aliens</I> that were contacted in <i>another dimension</i> after experiments with <i>Tesla's free energy</I> theorys opened a <i>transdimensional rift</I> around the <i>USS Eldridge</I> after the <i>Philadelphia Experiment</i>.
