old man emu Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 It's about time NASA got off its Federally-funded fart rs and entered into a deal with the Vogons to get that hyperspace bypass constructed. Then these asteroids could go about their business without driving up and down our High Street. OME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nomadpete Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 If research scientists were serious about their jobs, they would also be telling us who it is that we have upset so much that they keep throwing rocks and snowballs at us. If this keeps up, sooner or later they're gunna take out somebody's windows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty_d Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Well, in the words of Billy Bob Thornton in "Armageddon" (am I extremely sad if I admit I liked that movie?) "Well, our object collison budget's a million dollars, that allows us to track about 3% of the sky, and beg'n your pardon sir, but it's a big-ass sky!"

nomadpete Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 What Spacey? Why would you want all your cash under the pillow when the asteroid hits? You can't take it with you (in spite of what those rich Egyptians thought when the made pyramids) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't take it with you (in spite of what those rich Egyptians thought when the made pyramids) Not only the cash, I'd max out the credit cards too - not like I'd be around for the bill. You may not be able to take it with you but you can spend it on one hell of a party before it happens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacesailor Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Buy the biggest aircraft that my bank withdrawal funds would act as the deposit. The bank & loan shark will have to chase me to Heaven or Hell whichever comes after. Other disasters had banks closing their doors to stop withdrawals. spacesailor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nomadpete Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 What a bunch of reprobates. I'll never lend you my lawnmower again, now that you've let on that you don't intend to give it back if we get hit by an asteroid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 They keep missing cos space is really big ... really really big .. compared with planets and stuff. It's the same as mid-airs between aircraft. The sky is really big compared to Jabirus. Think of a roulette wheel with billions of slots and 2 balls. What is the chance that both balls will occupy the same slot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
