This might be pretty cool.

NASA is shootin' some kinda spacecraft at a comet tonight.

1:52 am EST.

The explosion is supposed to be something like a lot of tons of TNT. Prolly be able to see it from the ground if you look up.

The size of the resulting crater could range from a large house to a football stadium, and be from two to 14 stories deep. Bursts of debris from the cosmic collision could be visible to the naked eye in some areas of the world, scientists said.


This is a government program to alter the path of a life ending impact.  

The "scientific" story is just a cover up to keep us from hoarding bottled water and spam.

Naw. It can't be an alien spacecraft.  Our studies of captured alien technology from Roswell and other places show that we could not possibly damage their spacecraft with a simple hunk of copper.  If we could find them at all what with their cloaking devices and all.

Bottled water and Spam I tell ya... buy it quick.

But the spam will last longer than the neighbors farm animals in your underground bunker, and no waste products to deal with.

As for the beer, I already have mine, but figured most of you could afford a couple pallets of bottled water.  Beer will be in short supply what with the fourth supposedly happening tomorrow. You only have a few hours to prepare.

We always celebrate Independence with a bang.
I think from now on we should do a megaton range nuclear test every 4th.

That'd be pretty cool, and it'd be great if this set some sort of precedent. Like the creation of a whole new NASA Department of the Fourth of July. Just think of the crazy **** they could pull off. Not to mention the good PR that NASA could use lately.

If all I had to look forward to was a future of bottled water and spam, I'd just as soon camp out in a lawn chair at ground zero with a cold beer and watch the show.

In nature things have a way of getting back at ya. And as the saying goes.
"what goes around comes around" LOL quite literally in this case.

I just hope they are crashing into this thing as its headed away from us and not towards us. Our luck they would hit it in jussst the right spot and splinter it into several large chunks all headed in our direction

The large chunks will be harvested and delivered to Mars for the terraforming to begin.
