Maybe the Mayans were a tad off - Agmen of Eladesor - 03-05-2012

Seems that they JUST found an asteroid that's scheduled to 'miss' us by about 15,000 miles next February.

Sure, they SAY it's going to miss us - but that's closer than our geosynchronous satellites orbit. And those of us who've played that space orbit game that was available a while back (cba to link to it) know that if it's orbit is buggered just a little bit - say, it get's changed enough that it moves JUST a little now - then we could see ...

Or it harmlessly moves past us like thousands, millions even, of asteroids in the past.

It's only that recently we've started to track them that we're panicking so much, besides, if the world ends the world ends, we can't change that.

ONLY 15,000 miles. No worries, at all. What so ever. Although theres the chance (very slight) that we will get a new moon.

I'm moving to Mars. Bye folks.

But if the entire asteroid is to crash into the planet, the impact will be as hard as in the Tunguska blast, which in 1908 knocked down trees over a total area of 2,150 sq km (830 sq miles) in Siberia. This is almost the size of Luxembourg. In today'€™s case, the destination of the asteroid is yet to be determined.

Looks like the world already ended.

Derp.

Uhm...its 60 meters.

A life ender would be miles in diameter, although this would definitely take out a city or 10.
