dgmodel Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 it entered the earths atmosphere at that size it was closer to us then the moon, "the biggest such space rock in decades to get this close" and if it wouldve struck it couldve caused almost 800 miles worth of damage and traveling at 23,000 miles an hour missing by 75,000 miles is not all that much do the math... the asteroid was the same size as a soccer field!!! did you even read the article??? wtf...

thehacker Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 Originally posted by wideskies sheesh, what were all the guys who are paid to look out for these things with their big telescopes doing as this thing approached? gazing at their bellybuttons!?;> i suppose they're supposed to get some astronauts out there in a space shuttle with some small nuclear detonators that they set on the surface of the asteroid after an oh-so-treacherous landing while it's approaching earth orbit and blow it to smithereens just in the nick of time saving man- and woman- kind as we know it in a blaze of glorious heroism?
