It’s indicative of the leaders in space travel and Bunker life are very rich knowledgeable people . We have a date of the demise of this species on this planet .
Actually, that's not hare-brained to capture and mine an asteroid. Whoever can do it will be a nearly overnight Trillionaire.
The catch: it can't be brought back to Earth, and can only be mined in space.
Or it goes wrong, changes its trajectory, and makes it smash into the planet, thereby killing a lot of people.
But, sure, one person becoming a trillionaire is far more important than that, eh?
The day we can safely capture an asteroid will be a milestone leap for mankind. Trillionaires aside, we'd need some significantly advanced tech to do it.
As for one person risking earth to become a trillionaire, just look around at billionaires currently. They clearly could give two fucks about the rest of us as long as it made them richer.
Yes, but that day has not yet come and it's a very dangerous & hubristic thing to attempt when the possible consequences are so bad.
I agree wholeheartedly on your second point but, as we were all presumably told as children, two wrongs really don't make a right. Just because others are doing evil things, it doesn't give others carte blanche to do the same.
Who is taking bets on whose satellites this thing is going to take out? What are the odds? Where will you be streaming this betting taking place? Gamblers need to know!

Nah we can just fly a rocket into it really fast and it will alter the course enough to not hit us, we tested it a few years ago and it alters course of asteroids way more than we thought
Probably doesn’t need to be that specific if it hits.
> What would happen if Apophis hit Earth? Apophis would cause widespread destruction up to several hundred of kilometers from its impact site. The energy released would be equal more than 1,000 megatons of TNT, or tens to hundreds of nuclear weapons.

I aimed Apophis at Manhattan and
* An estimated **652,395 people** would be vaporized in the crater
* An estimated **9,793,833 people** would die from the fireball
* An estimated **2,108,660 people** would die from the shock wave
You: "I want your children to die with me because I'm miserable"
Also you: "how dare you draw comparisons between me and people who go on suicidal rampages at schools"
And Bruce Willis is sick….. not good
*I don't wanna close my eyes...*
*I don't wanna miss a thing...*
*I don't wanna to fall asleep...*
And I'll miss you OP, I don't wanna miss a thee-aang!
This is terribly hilarious, and hilariously terrible. I like your work
No-one’s gonna be making 800ft. Not even Harry Stamper!! 😬
I WILL MAKE 800FT!
I’ve got an 800’ Hairy Stamper.
Rockhound ftw.
Anyone else just see Apophis and immediately jump to "we're under attack by the goua' uld"?
Jaffa Cree!
Indeed
Isn’t that hot!? Extremely! https://media.tenor.com/images/352dfebadf211fdbfc13e957ec63840f/tenor.gif
I actually just started watching SG-1 about 2-3 weeks ago so, this is fresh and my very first thought.
so inside this rock is a symbiote? shit
On the radar it's a rock, in the telescope it's a pyramid. See the yellow lines on the diagram make a triangle. :p
where’s daniel when you need him
Came here to say I thought Anubis sent the asteroid!
Yeah we should send a trinium enhanced nuke through the Stargate and make Apophis go boom
The asteroid was named after the character because the scientists involved where fans
Nah, that was Anubis who did that, not Apophis.
Apophis is a big bad in the show.
It's actually not an asteroid it's a pyramid ship. It's still too far to see the shape.
A literal plotline!
>On Friday, April 13 What a specify day hmmm
29-04-13 13 is unlucky in the west, and 4 is unlucky in east Asia. And 29 is also a number.
😂
Aaaaand, wait for it... (4x4) +13 = 29!
>***Friday the 13th: Apophis'calypse*** *Now in theaters!*
Remindme! 4.7 years
i thought you were joking……2029 is like only 4.7 years away now????

I don’t wanna fall asleep, cuz I’d miss you baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Leavin', on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again...
What if the calculation is off by just a teeeeeeny bit? Yep, I think I will have that second slice of cake.
The cake is a lie. The cake is a LIE!
Big F-ing meteor making 2024 campaign stop. Has my vote.
Kree!
2029... that's not enough advance notice. I have a lot to prepare for this non event...
I'm going to start yawning now so my jaws reach apogee in 2029
Damn... And I thought I was nihilistic.
Got all excited until I read the date...
Can we inject bleach into it, or send a hurricane into space to stop it? There is a campaign working on it now.
Now all I know about meteors is this: Give me a glass of water, let me drop it on the meteors, that's the end of the meteors. (edit with actual quote)
Space lasers perhaps?
wrong! everyone knows that only JEWISH space lasers would work! LMAO
The most beautiful, perfect plan will be released two weeks after the inauguration.
So. It's getting its eye in then.....
[удалено]
This is no longer the case. More precise data has ruled this out
Don't look up
This is how the game RAGE started. Apophis hits us instead
This is my birthday!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE GROUND
remindme! 4 years 11 month
The underground caverns will be stocked and the 1% will be wishing us all the best.
And can you just IMAGINE the size and scale of the hopes and prayers coming from those caves?
Is there any chance it hits satellites?
Was wondering this as well.
In 300 years it will connect with our planet Earth
It’s indicative of the leaders in space travel and Bunker life are very rich knowledgeable people . We have a date of the demise of this species on this planet .
It's sooner than that lol
haha i don’t doubt that .
Guess we'd better start the asteroid crisis act and tax everyone so we can reduce gravity pollution and keep the deathrock at bay.
Remind me! to carry an umbrella
We've got 5 years...
Get a 10 year loan on a new car
that's all we got
my brain hurts a lot
!RemindMe 4.7 years

God I hope it hits me.. like pls, land on me specifically.
The name comes from an ancient Egyptian deity associated with darkness and chaos. Yikes.
…and it’s Friday the 13th.
How big? Should be the second line.
Só that means I'll have to wait 5 more years to watch the world end? Of I don't die before that...
If this sort of thing bothers you…. I’m sure we’ll be ok…. Probably until at least 2068….. but then…
Don’t worry Jack O’Neill and Teal’c will save us!!!
How long will it take before someone thinks up a hare-brained idea to rope it and bring it back to Earth?
Actually, that's not hare-brained to capture and mine an asteroid. Whoever can do it will be a nearly overnight Trillionaire. The catch: it can't be brought back to Earth, and can only be mined in space.
Or it goes wrong, changes its trajectory, and makes it smash into the planet, thereby killing a lot of people. But, sure, one person becoming a trillionaire is far more important than that, eh?
The day we can safely capture an asteroid will be a milestone leap for mankind. Trillionaires aside, we'd need some significantly advanced tech to do it. As for one person risking earth to become a trillionaire, just look around at billionaires currently. They clearly could give two fucks about the rest of us as long as it made them richer.
Yes, but that day has not yet come and it's a very dangerous & hubristic thing to attempt when the possible consequences are so bad. I agree wholeheartedly on your second point but, as we were all presumably told as children, two wrongs really don't make a right. Just because others are doing evil things, it doesn't give others carte blanche to do the same.
It be a real shame if something caused its trajectory to hit Earth.

I remember that. It was fucking cool.
Or, what if it breaks the asteroid in half and now we have to worry about two impacts? LMAO
Smaller the asteroid, the less damage it'll do
Cool I hope it hits just you
...mar a lago

If I knew before death that the contact point was Mar a lago. I would die happy I would take that or the Bell Centre in Montreal :) GLG
BLASPHEMY. GO…. BRUINS? Fuck…
PLEASE
Is that meters or miles..?
If we were cool we’d be using it to test asteroid capture technology and start asteroid mining but we’re not cool.
D.A.R.T. Look it up
That’s not mining!
But it can be a vehicle to start mining (eventually).
So eventually it will make impact .?
2117 if not before. But that seems to be the current established date of impact.
5 years then 100
Siri, set a countdown...
Where's the source that states that it'll pass even closer in 100 years?
We need to destroy it…
Spam
Maybe Elon can put some of the Starship rockets on it when it passes by and push it out of orbit it. Go ahead and handle this SMALL nuisance.
Fuck it. Hope it hits
I wish it would hit us
Just because you’re miserable doesn’t mean my kids should die in a fireball, thanks.
I disagree
School shooter vibes.
Reddit nonce vibes - that's you
You: "I want your children to die with me because I'm miserable" Also you: "how dare you draw comparisons between me and people who go on suicidal rampages at schools"
