Neil deGrasse Tyson on the end of the world

Maybe 2012 is when we'll know enough about it that we'll all know that we're all going to die when it hits so it creates unified peace due to certain doom. Then we'll figure out how to deflect it just before it happens and we'll have good times all the time after that. WOOT! Hehe. Sounds cool anyway.

Gotta say, it's nice that he thinks, if we find that it will strike us, that we have the power to do something about it.

Too bad when the time comes to do something everyone will be arguing over what it means, how much it'll cost, and if it's worth saving the lives of the people in coastal areas of if they should just evacuate. Maybe by then the Chinese space program will be developed enough to save us, cause I'm not counting on the western world to do it.

>> ^SaNdMaN:
"Oblates"? I don't think there's a verb like that.


Maybe he meant a combination of the adjective "oblate" and the verb "ablate"

[of a spheroid, flattened at the poles] + [the loss of material from a spacecraft or meteorite through evaporation or melting caused by the friction of the atmosphere] = "Oblates"?

I'm so smart. S-M-R-T

Shouldn't this have the war on terror tag? Or rather, the war OF terror? I mean, why isn't THIS guy a terrorist? He's clearly using terror for certain ends...

You see, the extra terrestrial threat is the only one which can succeed in convincing the mass of humanity that it must sacrifice all rights and liberties for the greater good. This concept was referred to once upon a time as communism.

If the asteroid fails at it's mission, it will be extra terrestrial life forms.
