Now that Trump is President.. don't expect to hear from NASA "Killer Asteroids is Coming!!!!". If NASA tries to ask for money to kill Killer Asteroids.. Trump would tell NASA "Get The Fuck Out of Here!!!" So why bother with killer asteriods if there is no money in it? That's a democratic scam. Next, they should just shut down NASA completely. They serve no purpose. Get rid of all their 'fake science' and what do you have left???? They might start searching for water on earth...do you think NASA can find liquid water on earth? You can go to a 7-11 store and ask for "water ice" and they will give you a double look! Where on earth is anyone going to find "water ice"??? Maybe the underground "water ice" oceans... You're going to wait maybe 4 or 8 years before you hear "killer asteroids" again. Now is the time to stick a 'water ice' hose down NASA's throat and let them drown in it! I'll stick it myself. Let those motherfuckers...drown. and their children too in their swimming pools... "Come on in, the liquid water is fine..." "Honey, can you get me some water ice from the refriderator?" GETTHEFUCKOUTOFHERE!!!!

Take a look at the Yucaran peninsula. Immediately west of it is a big semicircular coastline, the outline of the southern half of its crater. Or if you'd like something a little closer in time, how about the one that created Meteor Crater in Arizona. Only 49,000 years afo.

We have Tunguska, Riyadh, and somewhere in the Amazon (in the thirties?) as major impacts in the past 140 years. Fortunately, each of them hit in pretty thinly (or non- in the case of the Saudi one) populated areas. -- We are geeks. Resistance is voltage over current.

A meteoroid is a small chunk of something in space. There is no definitive definition based on size or anything else that distingues an asteroid from a meteroid other than a meteoroid is smaller than an asteroid. -- Jim Pennino

That is like asking “Where is the cut-off between ‘apples’ and ‘oranges’?” I could not find a normative definition specifically for “asteroid”, but search results on the IAU Web site suggest that it is equivalent to “minor planet”: ,-<https://www.iau.org/public/themes/pluto/> | | Pluto and the Developing Landscape of Our Solar System | ======================================================= | | […] | | The final resolution | --------------------- | | The first draft proposal for the definition of a planet was debated | vigorously by astronomers at the 2006 IAU General Assembly in Prague and a | new version slowly took shape.

according to yous peoples definition of an asteroid, it was a planet that killed the dinosaurs... and planets landing on earth everywhere, many times. even a lady was once hit by a planet. I'm going to have to make something clear to yous people... GET YOUR FUCKIN DEFINITIONS RIGHT! Learn the english language. Why is it you people cannot make up your fuckin mind???? yous acting like a bunch of fuckin retards!
