Some good news at last.

JUST IN: NASA says there's now a 3.1% chance an asteroid will hit Earth in 2032, up from 2.6% yesterday.

This is the highest risk assessment an asteroid has ever received, surpassing 2.7% in 2004

Bring it !

Burn the whole shit show down !!

rettopnoj.bsky.social•10 days ago

It's going to miss Sydney though 🙃

Knowing my luck of late the sod will land on my roof when there's a palm beach golf course it couldland on

At last some welcome news for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Organising Committee.

Ænema.

It will stop the heating problem that the earth is experiencing.

serehfas.bsky.social•10 days ago

Not soon enough. We need the Orange Plague removed....

Where’s Sportsbet when you need them?

nichhills.bsky.social•10 days ago

Sportsbet would cheerfully take your money, then keep it when the asteroid misses.

spillanemj.bsky.social•10 days ago

I ain’t betting on it missing 😂

grogsgamut.bsky.social•10 days ago

sky1108.bsky.social•10 days ago

I have heard this before.

garetholver.bsky.social•10 days ago

Someone direct it to Mar-A-Lago please

lyns84.bsky.social•10 days ago

At this rate it may be 90% in 2032. Great to know NASA is onto working how to deflect it…oh wait, they’ve been slashed to ‘save money’…

cognitiveverb.bsky.social•10 days ago

Quick, cut their budget before the chances get any worse.

It's ok if it is highly likely to hit because the nations of the earth will come together for this common cause and organise a well planned response. Such as response could be knocking it off course, with the back up of evacuating the millions of people in the expected impact zone. Right?

raven-murmur.bsky.social•10 days ago

China has initiated a project to look into that option.

drunk-echidna.bsky.social•10 days ago

Correct*

*unless there are brown or poor people living in that part of the world.

sydneydialect.bsky.social•10 days ago

Projected impact zone is a band that stretches from central Africa to eastern India. Last time I checked anyway

Looking at my finances, it's nowhere near soon enough...

Remember, it is not healthy to stare at crashing asteroids with your bare eyes!

carlosamammal.bsky.social•10 days ago

Something about the strongest neutrino ever found the other day. Somewhere in the Med... I'm guessing God has activated a targeting devise,!! Get your arks into gear people, do something.

crankyaussie.bsky.social•10 days ago

Kinda sucks we have to wait another 7 years but ok.

simonrosenberg.bsky.social•10 days ago

But what’s the chance the asteroid will hit the Whitehouse?

freedariviera.bsky.social•10 days ago

Mar A Lago might be a better impact zone 🤔

urbanmyf.bsky.social•10 days ago

It needs to hit the golf club, not the White House.

simonrosenberg.bsky.social•10 days ago

good call.

its---me.bsky.social•10 days ago

I'll ignore the obvious humor and treat your question as serious.

They have calculated a possible impact corridor, and 0% chance of hitting the Whitehouse.

Panama canal is in the corridor though - they could make the deal of the century right now.

If there is karma, that would be proof.

skobeloff.bsky.social•10 days ago

Jesus, I would have to consider believing in god if that happened.

methusheilah.bsky.social•10 days ago

Something will happen that is for sure. Vengeance is mine says the lord (Romans 12:19 and Deuteronomy 32:35). Last time it was a deadly pandemic that took out a million Americans...

simonrosenberg.bsky.social•10 days ago

🙄😂

annaharper.bsky.social•10 days ago

thewinerules.bsky.social•10 days ago

I think “looking up” is the correct term here.

anneokeefe.bsky.social•10 days ago

It may as well. We have managed to fuck it up completely, may as well finish the job.

skobeloff.bsky.social•10 days ago

Will the asteroid no longer be a threat when Trump defunds NASA?

skobeloff.bsky.social•10 days ago

2% in the next 8 years is the last I heard.
I wonder if the Australian government is supporting betting on the odds?

tassiedevil.bsky.social•10 days ago

We haven't been given dimensions. I want to know how big it is in Olympic swimming pools measurements.

ilanacee.bsky.social•10 days ago

From the size variations I've seen, it could be anywhere from 1.5 pools in length by 25 stacked on top of each other, down to 3/4 of a pool and stacked 10 high. So from 7.5 pools to 37.5 pools.

beckjoinyourunion.bsky.social•10 days ago

Yeah they can’t actually measure that yet. I’m guessing it won’t be big enough to force a Great Reset, worse luck.

portraitofprudence.bsky.social•10 days ago

And weight measured in Ford Raptor Utes:

“The amount of cocaine allegedly attempted to be imported weighs the same as a Ford Raptor ute”

skobeloff.bsky.social•10 days ago

How many bogans does a Ford Raptor weigh?
