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.

… not in this lifetime.
It won’t be an asteroid, but an asteroid will be blamed, it will be a nuclear bomb.
That’s the best thing that can happen to us at this point.
Sorry but religion is the main cause for the problems in this world and all gods were invented for control and greed over the weak brain washed minds.
It could hit or it could miss by 35 million miles….so it’s a toss up
By the looks of the size of that asteroid…there would be no one left to survive die hard
Is this homesteading or fear mongering?
Last paragraph of this fruitless article
“Before you go dreaming up ways to put giant drills on asteroids, like in the movie Armageddon, remember that NASA scientists have been making this claim for years, yet, low and behold, we’re still here (knock on wood). Let’s hope for the best but be prepared for the worst.”
Do a better job with your damn Headlines please. It’s hard to use you as a reliable news source to fight the liberal rhetoric when you post up nonsense like this. God low we don’t have much to work with the way it is as far as sources the deem satire or f**e. Thanks
Gonna happen, REALLY!
