1950da Asteroid Impact Simulation

1950 DA is a near Earth asteroid. It is notable for having the highest known probability of impacting Earth.

The chance it will impact Earth on March 16, 2880 during its close approach has been estimated as 1 in 300.

The energy released by a collision with an object the size of 1950 DA would cause major effects on the climate and biosphere which would be devastating to human civilization. The discovery of the potential impact has heightened interest in asteroid deflection strategies.

Chill out dude don't forget we are talking about a Asteroid most of them are Hugh so I'm sure it well destory the would so instead of saying to bad I don't live on the east coast what u should be saying is damn I'm fuck and either way I'm sure ur going to be died in the nxt 60 years cuz of old age so u wanted even get to even see it

Well good job i don't i live in the East Coast of the US It seems they always get the brunt of any disaster .Lol

who downvoted this? this is what actual simulations look like, sheesh.

We wont be around in 870 yrs time away.

I hate the fact that I can say this and be so sure of myself but . Looking at the shit we humans have constructed in the past 100 years alone, Plus the fact that our technology is growing at a exponential rate i think that our technology in 870 years will be more than enough to stop something like 1950da we could prolly do it now!

[Devilsnightforlife]

Maybe..

[DTanza]

Actually by then we should have sufficent technology to deflect it.

the world aint gonna end but we are hahahaha :)

[insanecrusader]

i agree! very intelligently said! lmao

ive been thru tons of other peoples bullshit about predictions being exaggerated, but one way or another, should a huge asteroid impact earth, the human race is fucked! haha

[Theshow540]

this is the one where the human race is fucked!
