Talk about history repeating itself, well if some of those "Extinctions by way of the Asteroid" theories are correct.

An asteroid, discovered in 2004, could pose a threat to Earth in 2029, the director of the Institute of Astronomy said Monday.

Boris Shustov said at an international space forum in Moscow that the Apophis asteroid, which is due to cross earth's orbit in 2029 at a height of 27,000 km (17,000 miles), could under certain conditions hit Earth in 2029.

The explosion could surpass the famous Tunguska explosion of June 30, 1908, which affected a 2,150 square kilometer (830 sq miles) area of Russia felling over 80 million trees in the Krasnoyarsk Territory in Siberia.

You do not require to put yourself through that much trouble, i will just send my Mother in Law to nag it to death.

 

 

 

They hope to blow it up early enough so that the bits of fragment would avoid Earth.. and some small ones are gonna burn out in the atmosphere. Personally, I think it's a dumb idea. They need to create so many variables, complicated, and no back-up plans other than launching more nukes. And of course, maintaining peace by nuclear warheads itself is ironic.

 

Those jedi scums. Blowing up the Death Star when we need it the most. And to think they have right to decide what's good or evil...
