Killer Asteroid In 2036?

December 23, 2005 | ISSUE 41•51

Apopohis, an asteroid that measures over a quarter-mile wide, may be on course to hit Earth with the force of 100,000 Hiroshima-sized atomic blasts in 2036. What do you think?

  • I hear a mission is being planned to intercept and destroy the asteroid. All I can say is: not with my tax dollars.

  • This sounds like something that would have to be co-managed by NASA and FEMA. God help us all.
