Soooo.... Tu24 anyone?

[UnatcoAgent]

Apart from the yearning to visit my local starbucks and hang out with the astronomy nerds to get a look at this thing, I don't plan on doing much else.

Anyone putting on their tinfoil hats?

I'll wait for the Youtube video.

Just nuke the damn thing

 

[AmpedSilence]

listen, if an astroid does head toward the earth, there will be a rag-tag team of random people who will go up and nuke, since we know that no matter what the disaster, nuking it ALWAYS helps!

The sun fails? Nuke it....
The core stops moving? Nuke it...
Astroid comes to end life? Nuke it....
Aliens attack? Nuke Them!

I'm sure i am forgetting some...

 

[shiner]

The answer is obvious

I agree with everything but the aliens. We've seen nukes fail time and time again versus aliens.

I refering specifically to Independence Day, but i'm sure there are movies where the nuke method has in fact failed.

What good is a tinfoil hat going to do against an asteroid?

And no, I don't worry about things I have absolutely no control over.

 

[meltdown75]

i put on my robe and tinfoil hat.

Well they did try to use a nuke on them in Independence Day and it failed.

No, Goldblum and Smith fly the crashed alien ship to the mothership and deliver the nuke. It blows up just fine. Are you talking about the smaller ships?

No, yeah, forgot the part where they uploaded a computer virus into the mothership to disable their shields (lol that brought back memories). I was referring to their first attempt at nuking them midway through the movie.

Yes, barring the virus, nukes do not work.

When it comes to aliens, you just gotta know where to stick the nuke.

Edit: Oh yea, and the asteroid of 2014 will kill us all.

Well sure, the nukes work just fine - if you can get past the shields.

I wondered about that. Inside that first alien ship, "We've been hit with a fission weapon. Shields have been disabled. I sure hope they don't try firing on us again or we're screwed."



If there ever is a threat to Earth, we'll most likely first notice the problem when the object hits the upper atmosphere. There's a lot of sky to cover, very few eyes are watching, and problematic objects really aren't all that big.
