If my calculator is working correctly, that’s 126,000 miles per hour. Wonder what the mass of the comet is.

Now that would be cool to watch not to mention gather good science.

That would cause some significant Global Warming on Mars...............

It would probably be visible with the naked eye, if the time and weather are just right.............

If the Mars Rovers are still operational, we might get some really up close and personal videos...........

There are multiple orbiters around the planet but ideally we would have some landers ready to land when the dust settles.

Not to worry, Obama will simply declare Mars an asteroid-free zone. Problem solved, after which someone will give him an award for saving the solar system.

It would also set back plans for human mission to Mars by many decades, if not longer, until the orbital debris cloud settles down.

What does NASA know? They can’t even launch rockets anymore.
My wish is for a comet to hit Washington DC when Congress is in full session and Obama is giving a presser with LOTS and LOTS of media types there to enjoy the show.

I think all these asteroids and comets as of late are a wake up call from the almighty....
The message being, WAKE UP! You need to expand past the planet before you get wiped out by nature...

I just hope it doesn’t strike the area where the astronauts landed.

Saw a quick trailer for some “When terrorists attack” movie that is out there. It had a AC-130 circling and blasting the White Hut. Makes the imagination soar.

It would also set back plans for human mission to Mars by many decades, if not longer, until the orbital debris cloud settles down. There are quite a few other factors moving that back by decades. America probably won't be doing that type of mission in our lifetimes.
