NASA Is Preparing for the Impact of an Asteroid: A New Study Shows That It Will Hit Earth...

The countdown has begun: NASA has announced that the 350-meter asteroid Apophis will be heading for Earth in five years' time! Experts are currently working flat out to prepare for the rendezvous with the projectile from outer space - but what could we actually do in the event of a collision? Would we be defenceless against the death and destruction that an asteroid of this size would unleash? Or are there ways and means of warding off the danger from space? Well, that's exactly what NASA staff are asking themselves - which is why they recently drew up an emergency plan to deal with an asteroid that has a 72 percent chance of hitting us!

Very deceptive headline. Apophus is not going to hit Earth. We have 14 years....till nothing happens.

Your Clickbait title is totally misleading

[kennethprice]

What’s so crazy about these videos is they don’t show you exactly the technology and everything that is back to prevent these measures people go to church

Hit tomorrow i don't wanna go to work 😭

[oneeyedjack]

I'll be 90. Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain!

David, are you someone who is so special that you can see the future? I highly doubt it.

At 900mt I immediately referenced the blast radius of tsar and said to myself "at 18x the tsar probably would've circled the globe at least once." And deemed it non extinction level. But yeah, the 9000mt figure is making more sense for some serious damage. Would wipe out most complex life, but of course you'd still have cicadas and crocodiles 😅

If Bruce aka Harry Stamper and his mates saved us within 18 days of first discovery. We’ve got 14+yrs. Make it happen!!

[Blacksheepishot]

14 years? That could be a lifetime for millions especially if some are already in their 80s.

[brighteyes]

Should definitely be a click bait flag on YouTube to hit for stuff like this. 🙄

[daveriddlelin]

We can't even see the ones coming in direction of the sun.. until way to late

[jeffalanvasconcellos]

So what else is new in attempting to frighten the residents of the planet Earth?

[BushidoPhoto]

Everybody needs to go into the sewers via manhole to wait out the impact shockwave and then re-emerge.

[dennisgenio]

If we can only stop Earth's revolving around the Sun by even 1 day then we can evade Asteroid Apophis. But the problem is "How about other Asteroids?"

[stephenallen]

If it goes through that key hole in 5 years' time we've had it😂

Humanity to instal smart/ superior DART system in Deep Space or on Lunar surface/ Mars surface to prevent such disasters/ impacts in future to save human life. Also humanity to get shelter/ establish permanent base on other planets and its moons in next couple of years, by using advanced space crafts.
