Also, the ice hole, as I suspected was NOT caused by that meteor. There's a whole chunk of proof.
Well all the chunks of proof that it was caused by an object smashing into the ice at speed are visible all around the hole
Shall we spend some time delving into this topic some more? I think a lot of folks would appreciate this type of discussion.
The fact is that every thirty million years all life on Earth comes close to extinction

It's up to "500 kilotons" now.

More like 300 kilotons according to preliminary analysis from NASA
No wonder they mobilized 20.000 people. This could have been a real H-bomb, how could have they known so fast what it was?

What has he seen as an astronaut? Can you provide some examples because from what I've seen he claims no personal experience.
If you feel it is not important or it's irrelevant, we can always continue it in another thread. Up to you.
Gordon Mitchell is a fine honorable man. He's my neighbor.

Who is Gordon Mitchell? I thought we were talking about Edgar Mitchell.
“You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch.”
― Edgar D. Mitchell
"Today we have with us a group of students, among America's best. To you we say we have only completed a beginning. We leave you much that is undone. There are great ideas undiscovered, breakthroughs available to those who can remove one of the truth's protective layers. There are places to go beyond belief..."

Did I say there was something wrong with it?
Now tell me what it has to do with this:
The fact is that every thirty million years all life on Earth comes close to extinction
The temporal distribution of the major extinctions over the past 250 million years has been investigated statistically using various forms of time series analysis. The analyzed record is based on variation in extinction intensity for fossil families of marine vertebrates, invertebrates, and protozoans and contains 12 extinction events. The 12 events show a statistically significant periodicity (P less than 0.01) with a mean interval between events of 26 million years. Two of the events coincide with extinctions that have been previously linked to meteorite impacts (terminal Cretaceous and Late Eocene). Although the causes of the periodicity are unknown, it is possible that they are related to extraterrestrial forces (solar, solar system, or galactic).
Does that solve the issue or am I still missing the point here?
