They really plan to just alter it's trajectory to hit north america instead.

You believe this tripe? Obviously Putin will fly there to stop and capture the asteroid with his bare hands.

>>4026942
Good enough for me.

>>4026942
Guess the survivors will move to 2ch.ru then

I wish they were thinking about their own problems, for once.

>>4026936
Except the asteroid is NOT on a collision course with Earth. Russians are just fabricating a non-existent threat to hype their space agency.

>>4026954
Pretty ironic, seeing that 2ch.ru is dead.

>>4026942
An asteroid that big would cause global problems if it lands anywhere on land. Landing in the ocean would only cause problems for the coasts.

>>4026948
I wouldn't put it past Putin

>Asteroid
>Hit North America
If that thing hits Earth we're doomed, no matter what.

>>4026964
Except it is. But not on this pass.

>n October, NASA lowered the odds that Apophis could hit Earth in 2036 from a 1-in-45,000 as earlier thought to a 1-in-250,000 chance after researchers recalculated the asteroid’s path. It said another close encounter in 2068 will involve a 1-in-330,000 chance of impact.
Yeah, I don't think I believe the calculations of these people.

>>4026991
You know scientists use the metric system right? Including American scientists.

>>4026994
You know they already fucked up before?

>>4026991
What he said.

Listen to this
>Nico Marquardt, a 13-year-old from Germany, was reported to have produced a collision estimate of 1 in 450 (100 times NASA's calculation) in April 2008, by factoring in the possibility of Apophis running into one or more of the geosynchronous satellites orbiting Earth during its flyby on April 13, 2029. This estimate was allegedly then confirmed by ESA and NASA[22][23] but in an official statement,[24] NASA denied having contact with Marquardt. The release went on to explain that the angle of Apophis' approach to the Earth's equator means the asteroid will not travel through the belt of existing equatorial geosynchronous satellites and the extremely small size of satellites relative to the size of their orbits means that there is currently no risk of collision; and the effect on Apophis' trajectory of any such impact would be insignificant

A FUCKING 13 year old german kid beats the crap out of NASA...

According to Wikipedia, it's mass is 2.7 × 10^10 kg, or 59,524,810,790 lbs (somewhere about 27 million tons). I know this is pretty much zero-G we're talking about, but what do they plan to throw at it anyway?

> implying Americans invented the ENGLISH measurement system

Nice one, Boris.

Honestly now, do you think this man has the world's best interests at heart to be doing this? Be wary.

Pretty much, NASA set him straight.

This is a devilish scheme cleverly concocted by the reds to steal a meteorite sample which will be used to produce a resentful army of Newtypes ready to serve in the forthcoming third world war. ( You'll be surprised who will serve as test subjects).

>>4027005
small bombs

This is why the Russians care.

>>4027009
Putin is a saint.

Type-Apophis is coming to attack us

How can Russia afford this vanity project?

>>4027018
I love how Apophis path goes through all the shitty countries.

>>4027029
Russia is pretty much the only country that still does space shit these days.

And this relates to Japan how?

>>4027006
Nice reading comprehension, retard.

>>4027015
I will gladly kill for Char or Putin so I'm okay with this.

>>4027035
That doesn't make any sense. You trying to be funny? Everybody and their mom does space. NASA, ESA, CNSA, JAXA, even the goddamn Mexicans are going to be opening up their own space agency soon.

>>4027042
But Char wants to drop asteroid and Putin wants to stop it. What are you going to do?

>>4026972
If putin could jump out of a third story window and land with no injuries then I guess he could stop an asteroid bare handed
