Whoa! Earth gets close shave by newfound asteroid

Maybe the X37B is a spacecraft that will land on an approaching asteroid and using a thermonuclear warhead, break the asteroid in two, whereby it misses the earth.
Only problem I see with this is a lack of redundancy. I would have sent up two X37B’s.

Maybe Obama got his North Korean buddy to send up a warhead at the same time as the X37B. They are of like minds.

Watched that movie on a Spanish language station the other day (I had seen it before on SciFI...back when I had better cable).

Then you know that you have to be read into the program. Tell me what umbrellas you’re under, and I’ll let you know.

Well, without a super double ultra hi burn before reading secret read-in I garnered this little bit from Yahoo:

Prediction 4: The planets will align

Another fear is that the planets will align on Dec. 21, somehow impacting our planet. This one is easy to debunk. Take it away, NASA:

"There are no planetary alignments in the next few decades," according to the space agency's 2012 doomsday myths webpage. "[E]ven if these alignments were to occur, their effects on the Earth would be negligible."

There have been planetary alignments in 1962, 1982 and 2000, according to NASA, and we're all still here.

Apparently a mole has infiltrated NASA or maybe it was wikileaks. I suggest that you burn all classified materials immediately then destroy your computer.

NASA says what NASA is supposed to say.
