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

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.

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.

If it impacted, it would certainly answer the question of life on Mars.

Could a Comet Hit Mars in 2014?

Sure could. A comet could hit Mars any second now.

As a matter of fact, the same is true for the Earth.

I think we should be aiming water laden comets and asteroids at Mars to terraform it.

Specifically I think we should be trying to increase the mass of Mars so that it can better retain an atmosphere. It’ll need a bigger moon too, to help even out temperature fluctuations and add some internal heating from gravitational pull.

Some of the mirror and laser ideas that are being presented for asteroid deflection could probably work. We could send a swarm of mirrors out to deflect the astroid Apophis which could hit us in 2029 if we don’t. And then let these go on out to the asteroid belt and start deflecting asteroids towards mars.

My queston is: If they've estimated nucleus size of 50km for this one, which is HUGE; why hasn’t an official size estimate of ISON’s nucleus, which is coming this fall, been released?

Can we deflect it so that it hits Washington DC?
