Ramius Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 They've known about this one for a long time. Want to really freak yourself out? Tracing the current trajectories of the Earth Orbit and another asteroids orbit, in 2029, there will be an asteroid that will pass roughly 18,000 miles away from Earth.

By 2029 the earth will be dead due to the human affect on the environment anyway.
Marv's Neighbor Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 Why do they call Asteroids "Asteroids" and Hemorrhoids "Hemorrhoids" and shouldn't the names be reversed? I would love to see an article telling me that the earth was on a collision course with a GIANT HEMORRHOID.
/dev/null Posted July 3, 2006 Author Posted July 3, 2006 in 2029, there will be an asteroid that will pass roughly 18,000 miles away from Earth. 717771[/snapback] i've read about that one. it may pass close enough to be visable without a telescope in some parts of the world
IDBillzFan Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 Doesn't matter. By 2029 the earth will be dead due to the human affect on the environment anyway. 717775[/snapback] Cool. I didn't know that. So essentially we have 23 years to win the Super Bowl. Any idea if it will end at the strike of midnight on New Year's 2029 or closer toward year's end....say, the Nov. or Dec. timeframe? If it's near year's end, maybe we can get the NFL to move up the start of the opener so we can play the whole season before the world ends. I'd hate for the world to end in the middle of a football season, so if you can provide more details I'd appreciate it.

Not then exactly. And the details are mine.

I was hoping we'd get a head start on the end of the world. Can you at least narrow it down to a year because if it's sometime soon I'd just as soon start spending more time with my family instead of putting in the efforts toward this whole "have a job to earn money" gig.
Ramius Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 i've read about that one. it may pass close enough to be visable without a telescope in some parts of the world 717778[/snapback] Its also going to pass the earth in 2021 and 2013. Their biggest fear isnt that it will hit us in 2029, but that passing that clsoe to our orbit may alter it's orbit enough to hit us during subsequest passes. Frankly, i hope it hits and theres nothing we can do about it. Then people will enjoy watching the bills during their last season of existence and maybe that will stop all the bitchin that goes on around here.

"Last friggin year of all life on earth and they STILL can't block!"
CosmicBills Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 Frankly, i hope it hits and theres nothing we can do about it. 717800[/snapback] Don't worry, Bruce Willis, Ben Affleck and Steve Bushemi will save us.
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 Doesn't matter. By 2029 the earth will be dead due to the human affect on the environment anyway. 717775[/snapback] I wouldn't worry then, since there is no "human affect" on the environemt anyway. I'm more worried about the "human effect", myself...but even then, we're not going to kill the planet. The planet will be here for a LONG time after we're dust.

The planet will be here for a LONG time after we're dust. 717815[/snapback] So if an asteroid comes within 18k miles of the Earth and there's no one here to see it would is still be visible from some places on the planet?
GoodBye Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 Don't worry, Bruce Willis, Ben Affleck and Steve Bushemi will save us. 717806[/snapback] My heroes!!
CosmicBills Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 My heroes!! 717962[/snapback] And they're good at drilling.... ....in the movie I mean
