Possible impact 3 days before my 89th birthday?!?!?

That sucks!

Like Yellowstone blowing, not something I can change, not something I waste bandwidth worrying about!  Had a helluva ride any way you slice it.

No worries, Elon Musk will come up with a laser beam to destroy it before it gets anywhere near us! Mark my words!

Only needs a gazillion dollars to cover development costs.

He probably already has one or two stashed away just waiting to save the world..... if the majority are

Republicans.

 

If the majority is Demo's, he'll probably launch hisowndangself and a few friends to Mars, where he

has already made plans to live, and let the asteroid take revenge on his frustrations.

But it won’t be out of HIS pocket.

Well it will be protecting all of us so are you suggesting that he pay it all alone? We would all benefit from it!🙄
I’ll bet most of it would come from him!😎

[Widder, SASS #59054]

This my limited understanding on ELON and our tax money.

 

Our tax money goes to NASA.   NASA uses ELON/Space X to help build their rockets and other stuff.

NASA pays ELON out of their budget.   

It ain't much different than most things we benefit from.

 

Think about it..... even some of our local shooting ranges are owned by our local government (or the land is leased)

and shooters membership fees pay for its usage.   But in reality, we own the government and its existance

is relied on our tax money.

Its just a 'round robin' situation........ they get our money, we get what they use the money for, etc.......

 

Works the same with hospitals, etc..............

He would in no way fund taking all of us to mars, building the place, feeding. Even His resources are limited.  It’s not possible either so the question is moot.

[Eyesa Horg]

I'd be happy to see some of his funds support the 2nd. We need a couple millionaires to help us compete.

That was from 2022, he’s on board with gun rights. This is more recent,

He saw which way the wind was blowing and jumped aboard.

I gathered that. I totally disagree, I think he’s great for the country and a very brilliant guy! 
Let’s get back to the asteroid and stop the Elon bashing please?🙏🏻

Obviously not.

This says 7 years but not likely to hit! Does anyone really know?🙄

He has contracts with NASA, that doesn’t mean it’s exempt from Investigations from DOGE!

So, with 2028 being a possible TEOTWAWKI, should we worry about the Unix 2038 problem yet or the Y5B?

 

I looked up the Y2K problem and it was totally understated in the retrospectives.  In our preparations, tons of computers and databases crashed when we pretended it was midnight Jan 1, 2000. We spent months prepping for that.

What’s TEOTWAWKI? I’m too lazy to search it😂

The end of the world as we know it.

A friend once told me how he'd react to the confirmation the west coast was going to be hit with a nuclear device. He said he'd go in the garage, get a can of spray paint, paint an X on his chest and lay down in his driveway.

 

I, we, can't do anything about this so why bother getting all rilled up?

DUCK AND COVER 

 

  that is all the good it is gonna do , IF it hits ya

 

IF it misses , grab a beer and get back to work

‘Close’ only counts in horseshoes, hand grenades, and nuclear weapons.

[Pat Riot]

2.3% chance of hitting Earth?  I‘ll worry later. I got better things to do now. 

[Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984]

I think it’s more likely that the asteroid’s orbit gets altered.

[Dusty Devil Dale]

Sit on the roof and watch!

Like a dieing from a heart attack:  If you worry and it never happens, you worried over nothing.  If you worry and it does happen, you worried for nothing. 

[Pat Riot]

Well, if the comet does hit the events leading up to it and everything that comes with it will be like a Block-Buster movie in real time. 
 

Enjoy the thrill! 

[Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984]

Eventually if no asteroid collision, etc, we are doomed….  The Y5B problem.
