Deep Impact

There is a giant asteroid heading our way tomorrow! Quick, aim all our nukes at it! Better yet send a bunch of untrained astronauts up there to drill a hole in the side and jam a bomb up in it! I saw it work in the movies. Well I also saw a Black president of the USA in one of those films, so maybe I shouldn't accept it as a documentary.

Well the good news is that the largest asteroid known in our vicinity is going to pass by the earth and we are going to get out of it unscathed this time. But next time will we be so lucky! Actually NASA is considering this inevitable eventuality and it doesn't involve Bruce Willis or Robert Duvall maybe it would involve some future Picasso. Read about how we could paint an asteroid in the future and all will be safe! http://space.com/ has lots on out-of control asteroids if you are worried about them. Also there is an article there about trying to see this current asteroid tomorrow if you are in the Southern hemisphere.

So we will have to wait a little longer until the end of the world. Don't worry, when it really comes you will hear about it here first at skepticklish.
