I’m not saying I’m on team asteroid…
But when 12.5 percent of the planets of the solar system commits 100% of the violence…
Holy fucking shit lmao what a reference
The (solar) system leaves them no other way of life! We need to make opportunities for them to orbit a stable planet and become moons.
But?
Which would also stop the asteroid hitting us as it’d move itself off track
Missiles don’t have that amount of kickback unlike guns since their propulsion comes gradually and from themselves.
A bullet has roughly the kinetic energy of a punch
Surely a missile launch would be far higher due to the mass
Or further on course…
If it shoots towards us it will therfore move away from us
If it is on a trajectory past earth and it shoots at us it will slow it down, adjusting the trajectory and potentially hitting earth.

Is it that obvious?
The probability of an asteroid firing is very low, but never zero.
That’s not true. The probability of an asteroid firing is actually very high, but they’re very inaccurate.
Historical revisionism at work:
The astroid shot first.

Rama strikes back
Better get some cold water ready.
Rendezvous this!
At last an Onion article that makes me smile instead of weep for the state of politics being so bad that complete and utter batshit crazy nonsense is so hard to tell from news these days.
If an asteroid fires a missile and it enters the atmosphere, is the rest of the asteroid considered a meteor?
