Don't Look Up
There's a study that says the effects of an impact landing in water won't be as bad as thought.
Also there is a way of using nukes to detonate adjacent to an asteroid or comet that slows it down without a risk of fracturing it. The heat turns the surface red hot and makes it shoot out mass and slows it down more. So we can stop basically any asteroid as long as we see it.
Armageddon?
I don't wanna close my eyes!
The difference from the movie is that we should just end it already and force the asteroid to collide specifically to destroy us.
What did the cats ever do?
What about the millions of species?
They did nothing wrong!
Bro relax, America can destroy itself in Civil War 2 before the asteroid is even near. No need to wish it on the rest of earth.
Yeah I wonder if weโll remember to look at the asteroid in 4 years when the orange dipshit is faking or cancelling elections. If he lives that long anyway.
