    Good video. Sad she didn’t mention one of my old projects (or show the telescopes), but that’s just me being petty.

    Can’t we simply allow the human race to be put out of its collective misery with a nice mass extinction event? Why must we prolong the inevitable?

    “Space is big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist’s, but that’s just peanuts to space.”

    1. Crash an object into it, 2. Gravity Ray, 3. Nuclear Warheads? These are not a 100% guaranteed ideas. I think NASA could do better. I won’t share my ideas, I’m looking forward to the Apocalypse. Which this is waste of time anyway, because we only have 40 – 100 years left.

    Video should be 10 seconds long. For all intents and purposes they don’t compared to the vast area ignored. Technology isn’t there yet, at least as far as we publicly know.

    The most logical preparedness plan is, as said, gather everyone in a room. If it will strike Antarctica, they’ll meet in an underground bunker in Greenland. And if it is due to hit the North Pole, they’ll meet in Tazmania. And ASK, is it safe yet?,after it hits.
