Giant asteroid possibly on collision course with Earth

Actually, rdunk, destroying it would be a bad idea unless the PTB can come up with a way to totally vaporize it; just blowing it up or apart would still generate a tremendous mass of smaller pieces that would more than likely still strike earth...

if some sort of propulsion system could be attached to it and used to steer it out of a collision course would be the way to deal with objects like this...

personally I hope that the future generations here do not have to deal with that scenario...

Yes, that is precisely I what I was trying to convey with my use of a "for example" of a possible 1000 cubic miles of an asteroid to deal with before and after blowing it up. And using gravitational forces, + or -, would seem to be a good way to handle the such like - if something like and non-hoax were to come along.

        Maybe, just maybe that "someone" already figured out a way to protect this jewel of a planet,, , , and it's inhabitants.


the Moon is our "friend", , , and one hell of a mobile shield.


Check out how many times in ships logs the moon hasn't been where it was supposed to be and strange odd tides too.

From my point of view it would depend on how far out it was when exploded. The futher the better. Parts would go in a thousand directions and maybe we would only get a few a year of small rain. If very close like the Earth to Moon then I would say we would get hit like a shotgun shell Or a thousand bullets. If nothing was done then like an Elephant shell and we're done for.

Also nuclear weapons unless they are inside it are worthless. No Air. Would be just a blast of light and a lot of radiation and EMP field. Need the big conventional weapons on this one. They would work in space because they create their own gases on explosion. So attach some huge new explosives to it and let it rip.

Let's contact Dr Judy Wood and fire up the weapon that brought down the WTC' s and dustify amy incoming unwanted guest.
