Wiki:

Asteroid 2007 TU24 was discovered by the Catalina Sky Survey, Arizona on October 11, 2007. This object's 1.4-lunar-distance approach on January 29, 2008 is the closest for any known potentially hazardous asteroid until 2027.

I fail to see the reason behind all the excitement

 

[Dunks]

0.0045 Astronomical Units = 673 191 kilometers

Can't say I am too worried if thats the distance come the 29th

 

[gord]

It's fine - we'll just send Bruce Willis up

It's fine - we'll just send Bruce Willis up

It's either him or we're send a team with a series of "unfortunate incident" and fail on actual mission but came back with a heroic suicide mission (Deep Impact)

The 29th is a Tuesday. I hate Tuesdays. Something ****ty always happens on a Tuesday.

Bloody Muslims.

I don't think it will hit directly as such but the plasma discarge sounds mental if that turns out to be the case. Either way, i'm going to be having a gander to see if i can spot it.

Space is the dogs

 

[Surfer]

i had a dream a long time ago that the earth would be consumed by fire.

I was standing in a sorta field i could see for miles and miles around. In the distance i saw an orange glow stretching across the horizon. Then massive flames/fire sorta rushed over everything pretty fast (think Terminator 2 Judgement Day)

tea anyone?













p.s.all you virgins out there better get busy

 

[stevenazari1]

[steve258]

the asteroid doesn't look that big so I don't think it'll cause that much damage even if it lands on earth. But agreed the plasma discharge thing is scary.

 

[hiroofheroes]

Don't think I'm going to be losing sleep over this.

 

[roysters]

Ok, who's joining me on a rescue mission to save the planet...

Space experience desirable but not necessary.

or we could just send Bruce Willis up there..

 

[GreenMint]

meh I dont care I've lost my virginity. I can die happy.

But can she?
