This. The meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs used a larger caliber to compensate for its lower speed and relatively primitive design. A modern ballistic meteor, made from modern materials and moving at a higher velocity, can be expected to perform similarly. See Walker Dragoon vs. .357 Magnum. Quote HistoryQuoted:

It amuses me how these 'experts' say a meteorite the size of a Volkswagen or whatever could end all life on Earth. Earth is a big planet, and it could eaily absorb meteorites, even as big as a few miles across. It wouldn't be nice for anyone directly underneath, but it ain't gonna destroy the planet.
And no, I don't believe for a minute a meteorite wiped out the dinosaurs. |

4.4 Million miles. That's not a graze. I think I'll sleep soundly.  Also realize that shit out there is going unimaginably fast. A satellite is screaming around at 18,000+ mph and that asteroid is closer to 36-50k mph. At that distance its orbit will be noticeably changed by our gravity well. |

So next time around it's course has been altered enough to hit us? And yeah, we should shoot st this one so we have a experimental basis for when one that might end us is incoming. Even if this one hits, it's not going to do that much damage. |

but if we hit it and break it up into tiny houses they will most likely burn up during entry if they come around next time. This guy gets it right |

IIRC they estimate that an asteroid the size of a porta-john wiped out the dinosaurs. No telling what a house-sized object would do Enough to permanently affect the Mexican coast line and blast a massive crater into the ocean floor. |

WAIT!!! What happened to the dinosaurs? I thought they were hiding out in Africa! He used to sell monkeys door-to-door. The difference between that fact and the business about the port-a-johns is that Jim Jones selling monkeys door-to-door is actually true. See? We're all smarter now than we were a second ago. |

So the moon is in the seventh house? And Jupiter aligns with Mars? Will the sun shine in? Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
Shoot, we'll be dead long before that. Sept. 23 is when the happenings. On September 23, 2017 a sign forms in the heavens that fits the requirements of Revelation 12. As far as can be determined from computer models, this is the only time this sign will occur in history. Therefore, this would literally be the Great Sign of Revelation that is to appear in heaven. The woman in heaven is Virgo–the Virgin. The sun is the sun “clothing Virgo” and the moon is actually under her feet. The garland of twelve stars are the nine stars of Leo with three wandering stars that have been situated within Leo at this time to make twelve. Those wandering stars are: Mercury, Mars, and Venus. The last element of the sign is that the Virgin must be with child. The planet or star of the Messiah is Jupiter. Jupiter at this time is in the womb of Virgo. Again, no replication of this sign has yet to be found. |
