NASA 'unable to stop' enormous asteroid Bennu which could hit Earth in 2135

[PinzaC55]

Why did they give it such a daft name "Bennu" ? It sounds like one of the gadgies out of ABBA. Why not "Golgatron" or "Darth Terminator" ?

Gives you 100+ massive meteors to deal with

Then use a small triangular rocket ship with a hyperspace to dispose of those.

It'll have coughed and spluttered itself into extinction by then.

Just ignore it.

You watch - we will get promotion to the Premier League the week before.

I'm pretty sure that if it was confirmed an asteroid was definately going to hit us in even 25 years, with the whole world focused on it as humanities priority, we would be fine.

Trump will sack it.

It'll send the house prices down..

I'd be amazed if we're still around in the billions by that point.

Yup. When he gets old enough to no longer give a fuck about anything then it's over.

Lets make sure trident is still operational then...

 

[lenshack]

Could this be even more catastrophic than Brexit ?
Surely not.

How will that help if Putin doesn't give a shit at 80?

 

[steve30000]

How will that help if Putin doesn't give a shit at 80?

Because it protects the country, maybe?

You've got to say that at this present moment, Bennu would cause, shall we say, devastation it it hit the target.
