Not quite Armageddon, but asteroid will hit Earth today.
- Thread starter Turn2
- Start date
Didn’t Armageddon start with a few small ones, then escalated a little?
“Uh, those are nothing. Uh, they're the size of basketballs... and, uh, Volkswagens, things like that.”
Next thing you know, we have one the size of Texas heading our way.

If it's one that will obliterate the entire earth or my hemisphere or region, I'd prefer it to be sudden with little to no notice.

Is it going to “burn up in a harmless fireball,” or is it going to “hit Earth”? Seems like those two things are mutually exclusive.
Does "Earth" include it's atmosphere, or does it only start at your feet?
It’s a shame it’s coming so early. The Iowa-Nebraska game isn’t for another two months!

More nitpicking then. If it hits the ocean does it hit the earth? You don't drink or swim in earth?Nitpicking! Do you breathe “Earth”?
At least it's a headline with some information instead of 'Find out what's about to happen to Earth' with 4 paragraphs before any actual concrete details are given.
So the moon is in earth and not space? And the space station should be called earth station, therefore those 2 people nasa couldn’t get from the space station are trapped on earth.
Therefore it is true that the Apollo astronauts never left earth for the moon landing.
I think the broad definition of Earth (the planet) would be the biosphere. The edge of the atmosphere is about 180 miles below the space station.
Biosphere | Definition, Resources, Cycles, Examples, & Facts | Britannica
Biosphere, relatively thin life-supporting stratum of Earth’s surface, extending from a few kilometers into the atmosphere to the ocean’s deep-sea vents. This global ecosystem continuously cycles matter. It is composed of organisms (biota) and the abiotic (nonliving) factors from which they...
First Steven Tyler loses his ability to sing and then an asteroid.
When we pull ourselves from the ashes we'll realize there were signs....
But we are nitpicking, and both the space station and the moon are in earths atmosphere.I think the broad definition of Earth (the planet) would be the biosphere. The edge of the atmosphere is about 180 miles below the space station.

I'd like to hear your nitpicking definition of atmosphere. Not to be mistaken for gravity.
Agreed. The stress of knowing it is coming would be too much. Society would collapse.
I use NASAs. I figured their scientists are way smarter than me. I can’t speak for you, just myself.

Part One sidebar: Earth’s atmosphere has five major and several secondary layers. From lowest to highest, the major layers are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere.
