If you were to ask somebody who studies space and things that come from space for a living, what would happen if a large asteroid hit Earth, and his response was “pray” it probably wouldn’t be very comforting. When posed with the question, Thomas Zurbuchen, the Associate Administrator for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington not only said that, he also said that it’s not exactly a what-if scenario, but it’s a matter of when.
But don’t fret! There’s good news.
While an asteroid impact on New York could be devastating, it would seem that an asteroid impact in Los Angeles would be less devastating. Thanks to a simulation, which took place in El Segundo, CA, on October 25 they were able to figure out exactly how long emergency rescuers would have to evacuate a city. The emergency planners based their scenario on an object they tracked through space with an impact probability of 65%. However, there was a period of four months where they couldn’t track the object, making their findings shaky at best.

Like global warming,I guess.
They help with asteroids too? Awesome!!!
Jerry Brown’s forehead.
Hell if it’s a direct hit… I don’t want to know… just let us vaporize doing what we are doing

Could be an extinction event, God said next time he would destroy the world with fire..
If Hillary can stop TRUMP may she can stop the asteroid
IF nasa wasn’t busy pissing away time and money on the b******t that is man made climate cooling/warming/change, they just might have figured out how to deflect an earth strike asteroid. A much better result from the use of our money than saying “pray”.
Oh well! Not much that we can do about it. Maybe Hollywood can whip something up. It’s not like it hasn’t happened before. Nobody gets outta the game alive. It’s in the rule book.
I don’t believe any of this c**p Lyin$#%&!@*NASA has to say. They are Evil hence that serpent’s tongue going thru their Logo. What will hit us will be a HAARP Beam, and NASA will claim it was an asteroid. HAARP is responsible for the recent spate of Hurricanes and all unusual weather phenomena.
