Armegedon 2005, Could this be it?

Ok, with all the worlds gonna blow up starting in 2005, NASA is going to launch a nuke at a asteroid and it's suposed to hit tommorow July 4th. Anyone remember the movie Armegedon? Just a theory, but does anyone think that this is the act that starts it all? You know, NASA sucessfully nukes the asteroid and large peices break off and come straight for us and BOOM! Goodbye planet! Or i causes enough damage for the NWO to take control or maybe even the Tribulation to start. I have no idea, this just popped into my head last night so i thought id post it before i forget. I'd love to know what you guys think.

Where do people come up with this stuff!? Around here you constantly have people predicting eveything and not a single one has ever come to pass! No....in my opinion there is not end of the world in 2005....seems I have seen this topic the other day ......I'll have to look.

Im not predicting anything... Just wondering what you guys think thats all!

I have thought the same thing. First off, they don't know what this chunk of rock is even made of? What happens if it is highly explosive gasses and it does rock the universe and cause some sort of universal imbalance? Further more, what makes them think they will even get a glimpse of what the inside looks like, and even if they do, they still won't know what it is made of until it falls to earth. Curiosity killed the cat, right? It will be interesting to watch the event unfold and hopefully it will not throw anything off balance in our little world. Happy 4th everyone!!!

I don't think it would be explosive gas. I'm sure that in it's history it has crashed into objects much heavier and at much higher speeds then the object headed for it.

I personally think the probe will be absorbed by the comet and not much else.

BTW Brian Wilson on Fox was talking about it earlier and said that it may be possible to see the "explosion" with the naked eye.
Guess they are expecting quite an explosion.

First off, they ARE NOT going to nuke the comet, they are going to crash into it with a heavy object. It's been compared more to a fly slamming into an 18 wheeler then anything else. The object thats going to hit it is the size of a washing machine and the comet is half the size of Rhode Island.

You are right when they out and admit that they have no idea whats going to happen. If the comet has a brittle surface it will make an explosion that may be seen with the naked eye, if the observer is in a very dark place and looking at the right spot in the sky. They would also have to be on the west coast of the US or in Hawii.

If the comet has a soft surface the object hitting it will probably just be absorbed and nothing will happen.

I look forward to the news tomorrow just to find out.

I just had a thought. What if this whole experimental deal is to see what the effects of hitting one would do, say in the event there is and most likely will be one some day that is headed for our planet. This would allow the scientist to see what it takes to break one up to avoid a collision with earth. Or at least see how it effects the track it is on. This won't be the last time they ever try something like this.

First of all, the impact will be from a projectile, not a nuclear bomb. If you read about it you will understand better.

The event could be visible from backyards. But for some, the novel space shot conjures visions of comet chunks careening into Earth. Is there any chance that Deep Impact will result in icy lumps of the comet splitting off, placing our planet in danger?

Put your crash helmets back in the closest and get some sleep.

This ATSNN news article has links to watch the event later tonight.

mrwupy beat me to it.

Here's the official site for it, in case you want to watch it live.

I'll probably be asleep when it happens but i'm sure it will be all over the news tomorrow. Telescopes have been brought out of hibernation to view this, not to mention every telescope of size on the planet will be watching as they come into its view path.

ok, I am just curious ... What makes you think that they are using a Nuke?

I heard that they were going to try to split it into pieces to get a look at what the Asteroid is made of, in hopes of finding out more information about the creation of our galaxy.

I did not hear that they would be using a nuke to accomplish this goal.



Question... Has there ever been a nuclear weapon used in Outer Space before? I mean, space is completely different than Earth. Space is a Vacuum. Would the weapon react differently under those circumstances?
Could it be possible... that the weapons blast would not end, just continuing throughout the universe?

We could be doing something really really stupid. I hope it really isn't a nuke ... that just sounds dangerous and stupid.

Could be one hell of a firework show!

When its ever mentioned that an Asteroid may break up theres panic .
However surely if the pieces are smaller there is more probibility that they will burn up in our Atmosphere?

Got a pre-event going on now with two replays following.

You're all gonna laugh but...

Believe it or not --there was speculation about the end times when we landed on the moon...a few people said we were pushing the envelope so to speak and going beyond what God wanted us to do---weird, huh?

Very weird, and probably understandable. Just should underline that when it comes to natural science we should never look back or question.

Just hope it isn't a ploy to see how humanity reacts to things. Like a faint.

That comet is 350 million miles away, and anything the nuke touches will be vaporized as comets are made of water, and you know what your microwave does to water molecules.

Well, the thing hit the comet Temple 1, and everything is going as NASA planned, its actually pretty cool. I wasnt really worried, it was just an idea I had and I wanted to know what you guys thought. Looks like it's not going to blow up and take a planet out with it. I heard somewhere that NASA was going to nuke it, I did not have all the information, I guess it just crashed into it. Still, really cool stuff, I actually went to walmart and bought a telescope because I'm in Chicago and could see it. The site said that it would be viewable in line from chicago southeast down to atlanta.

Remember your cat?


Satisfaction brought him back.


NUKES IN SPACE!

Well there were the ones that blew up the asteroid that eventually split up and landed in the Atlantic, and the other one that just missed theEarth by a hair, then there was the ones they used on another comet back in the 60's or 70's, and of course they had to blow up the Garden Domes on the space ships out near Saturn that other time... so many others I can't seem to remember but it was all Hollywood to me anyway.

umm.... did I okay my tax money being used to fly a billion dollar space shuttle into an asteriod? Sounds like a giant waste of money if you ask me.

The Deep Impact probe appears to have struck deep, before gases were heated and explosively released. The impact crater was observed to grow in size over time.

A preliminary interpretation of these data indicate that the upper surface of the comet may be fluffy, or highly porous.

So is this armegeddon? no.

Nope this is not the movie but eventually an asteroid/comet will eventually hit the earth. No matter how much NASA try to knock comets off course Earth will eventually be hit during the great tribulation.
Revelation 8:7 & 10-11. I think Revelation 8:8 may be describing a volcano. Im not sure but it could be an comet.
