300 prophecies in the bible about Jesus were fullfilled to the letter and it predicts both an economic collapse and something like a meteor hitting read for yourself....Revelation 6:5-6 where a day's wage to feed a family because of war, scarcicty of food, then Revelation 8:10. Get right with Jesus now first time he came as a lamb this time as a lion. Call on His name and accept by faith and believe He paid the price for your sin and God raised Him from the dead on the 3rd day.

they know now that if you use a nuke is out of the works for it will just break it up instead of one hit you will have 3 or more hits on earth it is better to change its orbit and there are diferrent ideais on that and yes there have been some that have caused harm to people homes and cars so look up there might be a rock with you name on it and this is no joke

[obaeyens]

No it is not. Mass is irrelevant to its orbit.

More massive means also more inertia to bend the orbit and that cancels out the bigger pull.

What fear mongers!

[Derek Emerson]

This thing is said to be Much much larger than expected. It has 75% more mass than original projections. This not only would make an impact much more destructive. It also means that the projected orbit may be different than we first calculated.
