An asteroid is to hit Earth in about 20 years from now. The U.N is working to altar the route of this asteroid. Predictions is that the asteroid about the size of earth's moon will hit san francisco taking out the united states. If the asteroid hits ocean continents around the world will down about 3 miles under water, kind of like a super tsunami. The U.N will attempt to use a gravity gun to try and change the force. About 300 million dollars will be needed for the mission.

actually, that was disproved. It won't hit in 20 years. But it will come extremely close, so close that the Earth's gravity will alter its course, possibly setting it up for a future collision.
.
 and they won't use gravity guns. The scientific community has come up with this solution: -they send a satellite to follow it to one side, and over time it will gradually move it away from the Earth's path.

old information, and its really unstopable, lets say we fire a missle, then we have hundreds of car sized rocks heading towards earth, most likely bigger. well i have been positive we will all die in 200 years or less, most likely less due to overpopulation.

BS, BTW an asteroid the size of the moon would destroy the entire earth, so it doesn't really matter what part gets hit.

" Astronomers are monitoring an asteroid named Apophis, which has a 1 in 45,000 chance of striking Earth on April 13, 2036."

sorry, to say but this is old news that has been posted about 4 months ago and longer also how would they exactly be able to know that? they said the world was going to be destroyed in 2000? but were still here, if it happens than it happens but until than I don't believe anything said about issues such as this.

We can't die in 200 years because we'll already be dead.

We can't die in 200 years because we'll already be dead.

im saying we will all be dead in a MAXIMUM of 200 years. Personally my money is on collision or overpopulation effects, i dont care though, if we are all dead we arent missing out on anything are we?

it's a hoax. Scientists were playing with the idea about 10 years ago but decided the chances of it actually hitting us were astronomical.

People don't realize the force of gravitational fields having an impact on asteroids and the like. They view Earth as a defenseless orb in the sky. Don't you think that if that were so, we'd all be dead by now?

The probability of Apophis (that is the name they gave this rock) hitting is is something like 1 in 45,000.  It will however pass right between the Earth and the Moon and could possibly swing back around an hit us in 2037.

Theres a small chance it might kit a "keyhole" and swing around and hit Earth. Again, a SMALL chance. Don't misinform people and scare them.

awesome, I actually cant wait, would be awsome to see this thing completley own the moon, although that would probably bite us in the *** aswell.

How ominous.  I dont think it'll hit us though.  I heard of this 3 years ago.  A "gravity gun" eh?  Reminds me of Half-Life.  Sounds cool.

" Astronomers are monitoring an asteroid named Apophis, which has a 1 in 45,000 chance of striking Earth on April 13, 2036."-Karayan-

Exactly. A asteroid the size of the moon would wipe out the entire planet. A gravity gun? Never seen one of those before. 300 million dollars? That's it? That is nothing but change for developed countries.

So if we had like 20 countries that spend 300 mil to make their own gravity gun, isn't that enough "gravity gunning" to completely warp the space-time continuum?

Funny read.

Earth's gravitational field would make the chances of that very slim, practically impossible.

It will come into our solar system as the new guy and own Pluto, next it will pass by us to scare us many times, and eventually either own the moon or intimidate it to move away, and become the new moon.

The chances of what are very slim? Destroying the moon? If something the size of the moon hit the moon at the speeds asteroids travel I very much doubt it will stop dead and just stick to the moon.
