NASA is one of the few agencies that makes extremely good use of their tax dollars, and the advancements in both spinoff technologies that make their way into wide use and the gain of knowledge for all are more than worth it. In fact, triple the budget, they've been coasting by on the space-agency equivalent of scraps for a while. We can redirect some of the USAID grift their way.

NASAs shuttle program was a boondoggle from start to finish. Also the retards LOST the plans for their earlier rockets, necessitating the stuff being done by SpaceX and Boeing to be reinventing stuff from the 60s.

Dawg, my doggy, my good man, you blow up a big fuck off rocket within our rockets range of our earth into a rock you have created the worlds largest shrapnel grenade with the shrapnel moving at like 18,000 meters a second.

Say goodbye to all your satellites and say hello to your new near atmosphere asteroid belt making every space launch an near impossible shooting gallery we have to run through

Why not, and stick with me on this, we simply bonk it away like the above image shows

my brother kiwi, please don't sperg about cosmic destruction for 15 pages like you did about...everything else. If an asteroid hits earth, it will hit earth. C'est la vie, live a good life while you can, for tomorrow we die

okay but with drop rates you get multiple attempts, and it’s a 3% chance each individual time. You could kill 100 of whatever enemy drops the special loot and still not get anything.

The asteroid is only gonna get one pass, I’m not terribly concerned.

Boss, I guess I should clarify, I know what your talking about when you do have to grind, Im talking about the weekly lockouts that arent "grindable" so to speak you need to rely on luck

Ive seen more than I care to count drop on the very first run or on a intentional run for it.

0.5% or lower is "fuck it we ball territory"

anything higher we need a contingency plan atleast in place, AN OPTION, if not for us for the future generations who might need it

you know the best time to plant a tree? 30 years ago, you know the second best time? right now.

Society grows great when men plant trees they might never sit under the shade of.

so. i know everyone's really interested in this asteroid shit, but you guys know this asteroid is years away from earth, right? this thing won't even hit in trump's term. it wouldn't even potentially impact until the END of 2032.

please stop sperging about an asteroid nearly 8 years away from earth like it's about to impact tomorrow.

Ill keep it a buck fifty boys, that scares the shit out of me

you know how many under 1% mount drops ive seen drop in various MMOS?

if I saw a mount with a 3% drop rate Id think "shit, they are making it almost to easy"

Dont think those kinda numbers are worth shrugging at when the margin of error is our very planet

I completely get where you're coming from, but the rock being most likely to hit India should make it like a really funny rare random encounter from a game.

As I said, no point in worrying about things you can’t control. It’s like fearing the reaper. Plus it’s like a 3% chance. And plus, a mass extinction event like the dinosaurs is not likely to happen again. Humanity is very spread out. And if my reading comprehension is good, it’s only supposed to be 15.4% as powerful as the tsar bomba, and that didn’t wipe out humanity, or anyone.

It’s more fear mongering like covid. There were people that thought it would kill all of humanity and it basically was just a flu. It also is a good way to give the government more power with them saying “OH MY GOD GUYS! WE NEED MONEY TO FUND THWARTING THE ASTEROID THREAT! TAXES GO UP!”

Massive fucking scam.

'Forced to'?

It must fucking suck to be the Presidents kid.

Your friends can't even hang out without the parents going through a background check and being searched on the way in.

Always trying to figure out if they are your friend due to your father's position.

on the one hand, actually based CIA tactic.
On the other, again, you don't hate journos enough. Of all the things you report the CIA doing, why something that's a net benefit? Orange Man Bad, that's why.

Can't wait to see some Hellfires slamming into their fucking armored cartel trucks. The fact that the cartel has their hands on anything like that and are operating with impunity shows how badly the mexican government has failed.

Latvians aren’t Slavs. They are Baltic. They have a completely different religion and culture from Slavs.

Paternal haplogroups R1a and N1a1-Tat are the two most frequent, reaching 39.9% each among ethnic Latvians.[50] R1a is associated with spread of Indo-European languages. R1a of Latvians is predominantly M558, and compared to other populations like South Slavs and West Slavs, Latvians also have the highest concentration of M558 among R1a. N1a1-Tat mutation originated in Northeast Asia and had spread throughout the Urals into Europe, where it is currently most common among Finno-Ugric, Baltic and East Slavic peoples. Latvians and Lithuanians have a predominance of the L550 branch of N1a1-Tat.

N1c1a was present in 41.5%, R1a1a-M558 in 35.2% and I1 (M253) in 6.3% of the samples analyzed.[51] In lower levels, 2.5% of I2b (M223) and 0.6% I2a (P37.2) – haplogroups historically associated with western hunter-gatherers – were found as well.

Genetically, Latvians cluster closest with neighboring Lithuanians and Estonians; to a lesser extent with Poles, Czechs, Scandinavians, Germans, and Belarusians.

China doesn't allow even it's own citizens to buy land, you can only rent for 99 years.

Why should we allow chinks to buy land anywhere if their own country won't let them own it?

Are you from europe? just curious because over here we usually dont let others police our speech, especially when its a littoral "public fourm" and im just sharing a rather inoffensive non bombastic opinion about something that relates to the boards topic, US politics via NASA funding

your making it sound like im shizoposting about the moon exploding as opposed to responding to another posters info about US info of a large scale disaster

Ill try not to shit up to much more than is necessary but you can always set me to ignore negro

I get people dont always agree with my position but my balls are of sufficent size that you cant just come up like a fellow member of the mental asylum and be like "dude, be better" and Ill be like "Ohh yes massa im so sorry I was talking about the complex topics that made your head hurt"

based ooperator knowing about the Teutonic knights, thats why the carving up of lithuania was so embarrassing for jitler, he had to move OLD pruisian families out in a hurry and more or less disgrace before the soviets moved in

Here is the projected impact path.

View attachment 6997394

Apparently according to NASA and their metrics, the asteroid would release energy equivalent to 7.8 megatonnes of TNT (32.6 PJ) if it were to impact Earth at its predicted velocity at atmosphere entry of 17.32 km/s (10.76 mi/s), equivalent to about 367 of the "Fat Man" bomb dropped on Nagasaki, 2 and a half of Grapple Y, 51% of Castle Bravo, or 15.4% of Tsar Bomba.

So not world ending, but certainly bad enough to fuck over a country please hit India
