For supposedly six billion years the earth has existed and it hasn’t happened yet. What makes these clowns think it will happen? Get a life, a real job—one not dependent on the government, and lastly, read the Bible.

A mine field?

Would that not violate treaties signed by the Federation?

Why is this being reported just now? I thought Earth defense technology was perfected years ago.

You could do it that way.

Or you could phase shift the earth into another dimension so the asteroids just pass through. Cleaning up all the other dimensional animals wanting to feed on us when you do that might be a problem

Surround the earth with an electromagnetic shield. You want those before the aliens attack anyway.

Magnetize the moon. Let it sweep up any asteroids with metal in them. It's out there anyway, we might as well use it.

change the path just enough that it slingshots around earth and hits Mars. Mars needs more mass to help it retain an atmosphere. And if the asteroid has a lot of water ice, it's a win win.

Change the path just enough that it takes out whatever country is getting out of line at the moment. And I mean being aggressive towards their neighbors, threatening nuclear weapons or genocide. Not something petty like prescribing Ivermectin.

Sadly you’re mistaken, it’s happened multiple times.

You missed the point. A cataclysmic “cosmic impact” ending life on earth will never happen. These fools just need taxpayer money.

Way more than you have, apparently. Some of these people have spent their entire adult lives studying math, physics and astronomy. You haven’t spent two seconds.

And you call them clowns?

Stay out of the threads I start. I’ll do you the same favor. You contribute NOTHING.
