PROTON FAILS JUST AFTER LIFTOFF
Two minutes after blasting off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan tonight, a Russian heavy-lifting Proton rocket suffered a malfunction of its second stage, marketing firm International Launch Services said. Destroyed in the launch failure was the JCSAT 11 communications spacecraft, the first commercial Japanese satellite to ever fly on Proton.


That’s all for now

What gives you this idea?

100% of all Amphibians, Sea Turtles, Alligators & Crocodiles, Diatoms, Dinoflagellates, Honey Bees, birds to name a few.

Not to mention, that this asteroid somehow caused almost all Dinosaur species to start going extinct 3 million years before it actually hit

Things are going extinct all the time. A number of large preditors have gone extinct within the last 10,000 years.

Something, however, finished off the dinosaurs, along with half of all known species.

This is a ploy to divert attention from the use of our nuclear ICBM arsenal to meet the threat of an incoming meteor or comet. Imagine liberals acceeding to the fact that the world’s nuclear weapons could be a savant technology. Simple geometry tells you that many smaller fragments will ablate in the Earth’s atmosphere whereas one large chunk of rock will punch through and do serious damage. This is such a no brainer.
