If there was a cataclysmic asteroid headed to earth, I would probably drive towards the destination. I wouldn’t want to be around when it hit.

I’m tempted to pray that a large asteroid IS headed for earth.

Soon, hopefully.

Like tonight.

The events "serve as evidence that we live in an active solar system with potentially hazardous objects passing through our neighborhood with surprising frequency," said Representative Eddie Bernice Johnson, a Texas Democrat.

It appears Yahoo!News was shocked that a DemocRAT could say something that is even semi-intelligent. LOL! Otherwise, Representative Eddie Bernice Johnson would have been enough.

- NASA chief Charles Bolden has advice on how to handle a large asteroid headed toward New York City: Pray.

But...

If you’re not so keen on prayer, please fully fund all my projects NASA chief Charles Bolden added.

Obama sure picked the right guy for that job, eh? What a useless waste of protoplasm.

If it were aimed for a liberal crap hole like NYC or San Francisco, what would be the down side?

Nah, there’s nothing anybody could do. We don’t have the technology to handle anything that could come from space.

Chairman Lamar Smith, a Texas Republican, who called the hearing to learn what is being done and how much money is needed to better protect the planet.

Really! What could we do to protect ourselves (put up big nets to catch the Asteroid?)? Alas, nothing. Recovery in the aftermath is another matter.

“You ask,what about the other 5%?”

They blew that part of the budget on Muslim outreach...

I've been telling people for a long time that Space research is as important as the military. People foolishly think “how does blowing money up there help us here?” until a planet-killing or city-killing rock emerges from the depths of space and we lack the capability to do anything about it. With the current state of NASA, there is a good chance we won't even have a warning.

i would pray it would hit dc.

Except for the fact that it would also take out irreplaceable cultural treasures ... like the Smithsonians for instance.

Life's full of trade-offs.
