WTF is THIS? Asteroid is 6 Miles wide?

LOL, she said it was 6 miles across, WTF its Earth MOID‎ is ‎9700 km maybe this is where they got that from, its diameter is roughly 2 meters (7 feet), think someone screwed that news report up.

Not sure about you but if this was legit, I might be shitting my pants..........not into Russian roulette. If something that size were to hit us broadsided, I'm thinks this would fuck us right up pronto.

It's just a potato the has been in the bin too long.
Don't worry them big bang theory people know.
French Fries Mmmmmmh Uh Huh

Nothing would survive, The surface of the earth would be obliterated.

Nah it's only six feet

9.7 km is not a speed...it is a distance...as is 6.1 miles.

...seems that "that youtuber" has a spirit animal. You.

Just because we now have "eyes" to see them, people Freak. Look at the Moon. Isn't it Obvious that Asteroids have always been around?

what with the recent near-constant plethora of asteroid doom threads, i'm going to be very disappointed if we aren't struck by a planet killer real soon. total let down.

I am so saddened by people that have NO faith in an Almighty Creator that they think The Creator would allow a piece of rock to interfere with His Plan.

Everyone with a few spare moments should go over to YouTube and report that video for getting misleading.

That's the one that's what I've been dreaming of 6 miles it's going to smack in the northern continent of Africa

When have they been wrong? Other than not detecting some?

It's not 6 miles wide, that was a news story that got it wrong.

Surely we would all hear just hear a pop as our ear drums explode

6? That’s what she said!!!!

Just out of curiosity, how large would an asteroid be to shatter the moon, dreamt of that? Anyone else?

Yeah, to avoid a mass global panic, the media, NASA, and JPL are now calling it only a 6ft asteroid.
But with a little critical thinking, we all know there's no reason to report a 6ft asteroid because it would burn up like most small asteroids and not be news worthy.
Most amateur scientists don't believe it's only a 6ft asteroid, and still believe the original report of it being a 6 mile asteroid.
It's 6 miles in diameter and passing within 300miles of Earth on Nov 2. and please keep in mind The International Space Station is only 300miles above Earth.
It could easily wipe out 1/3 of the Earth's population if it hit.
This is why Elon Musk was recently performing multiple rocket launches in the last month - they're trying to redirect it away from Earth.
They also removed all the people on the ISS - International Space Station last month.
This is another reason why Trump made the recent, " Space Force" as part of the US armed forces.
I think it's to divert the incoming asteroids. Sounds crazy but some Elon Musk is from the future.
His primary mission was to develop new advanced rockets with his company, "Space X" to detour these things.
Elon Musk's company Tesla which is now over $2100/share and making the best electric vehicles out there.
Elon is indeed from the future and brought all this future technology with him to try to save the world...
This is also why he is so willing to get mankind off Earth in a hurry, but not before Nov 2nd.

Story from April 12, 2019...

SpaceX will assist NASA's first-ever mission to redirect an asteroid

NASA has chosen SpaceX to help out on its first-ever attempt to deflect an asteroid. The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) will blast off on a Falcon 9 rocket in June 2021 from the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. Its mission: To smash a satellite into the Didymos asteroid's small moon in a bid to knock it off its orbit. What sounds like the plot of a Michael Bay movie could turn out to be NASA's first line of defense against Earth-bound asteroids.

And here's a theoretical 6-mile diameter asteroid simulation impacting Earth 20 miles off the coast of New York

Kudos Astro, I take back anything I've ever said bad about you, of which isn't much but still.

GLP is lucky to have you watching the heaven's above for them.

Hell, if an asteroid doesn't do it, the leftists of America sure will.

You display so much logic and common sense, I imagine you're a Bernie-Biden-Clinton-Obama fan.

Well, sorry, to say, but Astromut or any other amateur astronomer will not be able to see a 6 mile wide asteroid coming at us from the Sun due to over the contrasting glare from the Sun.

However, our government has shut down all observatories (most of them anyway), and are only operating the top secrets ones that are able to glare into the Sun's corona and following Elon Musk's latest rocket attempts to divert this 6mile dia. planet killer away from us.

I guess we'll all see it very soon if they are successful.

What if that is his plan?

LMAO, I heard 6 miles across within 300 miles of earth and my asshole puckered there for a minute. Good thing I read the rest of the forum. You saved me from buying that Lamborghini.

You're funny! And I bet you really think Elon Musk's recent Starlink satellites launches are really for a new global internet! LMAO.
