Let's Say...

...an asteroid WAS about to hit the earth. Do you think NASA/the government would tell us, or would they worry about the insanity which would result, and keep it a secret? My money's on "try and keep it a secret".

I think they could only keep it a secret until a few weeks/months out. The network of amateur astronomers both radio and optical is to large to stop the news of a end of earth asteroid from leaking out.

[Redbeard]

I agree with ya. But aren't there enough astronomy nerds out there that would know this things coming and spread the word via Facebook

[Redbeard]

Olly beat me to it. I guess they're not called astronomy nerds

I forgot about this. Although I think NASA would do thheir best to pooh-pooh them away, and get people to think they were just crazy kooks. Although if there was enough warning, I would still wait until the last minute to begin my retribution. I'd hate to start a week early, and have them say "Oops, we forgot to carry the 1- turns out it's gonna miss us by THAT much."

The govt is king of keeping secrets from the simple minded masses, always have been always will be.
Did they start giving tours of area 51 that I didn't know about?

[assateague]

Of course they didn't. How you gonna give a tour of something that doesn't exist?

[rebelp74]

The government always keeps secrets, hides things, and does horrendous things that we will never know about. Anyone ever heard all of the 9/11 conspiracies? Some them sound very feasible.

Shoot, look up the conspiracies dating back even to Pearl Harbor.

[Mornin Beef]

It would be a damn shame for all those preppers to not get a chance to get into their underground cubicles.

[huntall6]

easy, they would blame guns and violent video games causeing the asteroid to alter its original course and guide it into ours. obviously you guys arent as leftist as i.

So true Imagine the look on their faces. "Ah SON OF A BITCH! all that time and money right down the shitter."

The obvious thing to do is keep your eyes on the president. When he disappears on Thursday...and all of Congress disappears, the VP, Speaker of the house etc...HOW do you hide the fact that they ALL packed up and left for extended leaves?

I guess you blow something really big up on Wednesday and point the news teams "over there".
They call that a diversion.

Exactly. I will be PISSED if I spent all that time burying a school bus by the horse pasture, and I don't even have time to get me and the family in it.

[assateague]

There are some of you wondering if I'm serious. I'm not.

[assateague]

As far as you know.

[Olly]

I think I'm in the minority of people that are truly okay with the idea of death. Might change when I have a family but for now if a earth ending asteroid were to be heading this way. I wouldn't panic, I'd just make my way to a warm beach with a good stock of cold brew and watch the show.

[GadwallGetter530]

As far as you know.

No I see an under ground concrete bunker with a two foot thick steel door. A bus covered in dirt? Na that is the way you roll. Besides in a bus you would run out of room. For your family, pets and all your caned tomatoe sauce.

I want to go to highest peak in the adirondacks with a few liters of squirrel nut shine.

not sure how I feel about just me dying but if everyone was going to die I'd be the same Olly.

I'm with you, death doesn't phase me. If its me, family, or others. Death is part life, you can't have one without the other. We will all die eventually. If an asteroid is going to hit, I want it to hit me.

I would want to live through it. Not because of the fear of death but because i would want to see how long I could live in a destroyed world.

It'd be pretty cool to be in heaven or wherever I end up and talk about being the guy the asteroid hit.

yeah. But it'd be even cooler to tell everybody that you were the last one to die.

I do have a shit ton of tomato sauce.

Wondering how long it would take to hand dig as we all know your to cheap for equipment

[assateague]

We have no rocks. I think we still have a bet that I can dig a 5x5x5 hole in less than 30 minutes with nothing but a shovel, or something like that.
