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.

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.
