#2 Got a moon satellite for that pull away.

When they try for an asteroid tax, send them to the allows.

#3 Somebody bumped into somebody else and now we got one comin' our way. Remembering my 8ball, I'm more concerned with what started it.

#6 370 meters in diameter is mountain sized?

Maybe if you're an ant but jeebers that don't qualify as a mountain in my book.

#7 Maybe not AlanC but keep in mind the potential energy involved. Meteor Crater in Ariz. ,about a mile wide, was caused by a rock about the size of a fridge.
A rock this big could take out D.C. and all the surrounding suburbs....hmmm...nope ...don't go there..

#10 Yet another example of asteroid privilege.

#11 Warthog, I understand the energy which it is carrying, I'm commenting on the hyperbolic language.

That sort of exaggeration causes people to say "Oh, another sky is falling." If he wants to talk about energy talk about energy, Hiroshima bombs is a good metaphor, not about volume.

#12 LOL Matt. You've been on a snaroll.

Also: Been to the new stadium yet?

#13 and no experienced Asteroids players still around with prime skillz. We're fooked

#14 E.g. People in GUAM-WESPAC looking up to the sky and seeing massive explosions on the Moon ...

AFAIK the most likely explanation for such an event would be an ASTEROID OR COMET LUNAR IMPACT, or in altern NATURAL INTERNAL LUNAR VOLCANISM resulting from gross or abnormal destabilization of the gravity fields between the Sun + the Earth-Moon.

The principles will be the same per this space rock.

On a separate but not necessarily unrelated note, this Artic makes me wonder iff the then-Soviet KGB-now-Russian-FSB had a much larger role in attempting psycho-programming/probing agz
moi than the CIA-FBI.

Given ANNA CHAPMAN + in particular ANNA LONGINOVA.

#15 Tumbling frozen through dark endless void
Comes our lonesome new pal, asteroid.
Now she's too hot to touch
But she loves us so much:
"I was helpless; please don't be annoyed!"
