NASA Gets Ready for an Asteroid Impact: ‘It’s going to happen’

asteroid-impact

NASA recently opened up about their preparations for a future asteroid impact. The government agency initiated an emergency plan back in October 2016 where they practiced evacuating people in one Southern California town.

Their plan included a simulation experience featuring a strong chance of an asteroid hit. In an effort to better prepare for the looming disaster, they worked with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

NASA predicts the planet will be hit by an asteroid sometime in the future; as for when and where it will happen, nobody can accurately guess.

In the meantime, we should start taking our own initiatives to prepare for this disaster that could happen in our lifetime.  Unfortunately, asteroids are not something we can predict in a timely manner. If an asteroid was to hit, we would only 2 to 3 days at most to prepare.

We can and should keep a potential asteroid hit in the back of our minds when planning for a potential disaster. It's a good idea to plan ahead with electricity alternatives and stockpiling non-perishables.

It's also a good idea to arrange an emergency plan for your entire family so everyone can stay in touch even if everyone is separated.

Let's take another look at our previous report from NASA after the break.

    I guess we should not worry about global warming if this “is going to happen.”

    There is only so much preparing we can do since our days are numbered.

    The astroid apophis not due to arrive until 2025, after a close encounter with the earth it is believed its trajectory will be altered and it will swing around our solar system and return in exactly 7 years in 2032 and then hit the Earth

    What’s so fake about it,? there was no predictions, just some advice.
    I’m not living in fear, it’s something that anyone can control. What no one thinks an asteroid will never hit earth, it’s happened thousands of times.

    Well, they could be better prepared if the budgets weren’t so small.

  10. Anthony Talley said:

    Duwd, their budget is astronomical…! (No pun intended…research it, its higher than Any organization on the planet)

  11. Eric T Harvie said:

    Ugh. I do know what it is, and it is inadequate to remedy this issue of being able to track all NEO’s.

    Let’s hope it gets here soon, the human race is quickly turning to mindless drones…

    they were not tell a soul if it were true.that is just the way it is.you would have breakdowns of everyday things and for that reason, no one will know a damn thing

  14. Bruce Bruce said:

    Sure… it’s bound to happen… I’m bound to win the lottery too, if I live long enough 😉

  15. Eric T Harvie said:

    LET’S TAKE A SMALL PORTION (around 1% of the budget) WASTED ON THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX (16% of budget) and double the sciences budget.
