  • The treat is comets, not asteroids, and impacts often happen. We might get 3 months warning or less. Google:

    VULCAN REVEALED

    A Dangerous New Jovian Sized Body In Our Solar System

    It draws in comets from the Kuiper belt.

  • Good thing you're too smart for 'em.

  • You just got to love science! i don't know why many people reject it!

  • apophis wil not hit!

  • That is simply propaganda to lull the Sheeple into a false sence of Suck-Cureity!

  • 400m he just said its 270m...

  • thnx for this Vid .. ive been viewing alot of vids with regard to Apophis 2029-2036.

    the scarey thing is, its the only asteroid ive heard about with the possibility of hitting us in my life time and whats worse they wont know its true trajectory until 2013.

  • h-bombs were invented a long time ago, and they are much more powerful than an a bomb which is pretty damn powerful! 400 meters isn't too much for nuclear weapons.

  • how would we "use the sun's power?"

    Drink sunny delight? you are like me and don't want to believe the seriousness of this!

  • you've got to be joking (this is a reply to Dakakata)
