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

asteroid-impact

What would you do if you knew there was an asteroid heading your way directly or near your home?

Do you have an action plan for your family? NASA is making preparations for a possible asteroid strike and encourages you to do the same.

Late last year, emergency officials teamed up with NASA to simulate an asteroid hit in El Segundo, California. In the first part of the simulation experience, they elaborated on a situation where an object had a 65% chance of hitting the planet.

Afterward, they couldn't observe the moving object for about four months. Later on in the simulation, they find something heading directly towards the Los Angeles area with an impact probability of 100%. They proceed with an evacuation.

    Science says now the dinosaurs all died within hours. This is because the debris falling back to the Earth burned on re-entry and heated the atmosphere up to 1200°C+ (not 100% sure on that#) which will surely kill us all just like it did the dinosaurs.

    This, like most of science is pure speculation and simulation…theory and what ifs..

    Actually the military was preparing for it as early as ’90. We conducted exercises in ’91 and ’92. Then astronomers realized they miscalculated. KL-43 is still stuck in my head. A communication device used for such an event.

    Don’t get me wrong. I’ve seen a LOT of fake bullshit on the internet. But damn.. this is good.
