Well, if humanity is going to be too much of a pussy about pressing the big nuke button, might as well let the cosmos take care of it.

Fallout 2024, woo!!

New nuclear deflection simulations advance planetary defense against asteroid threats

Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have developed a modeling tool for assessing the potential use of a nuclear device to defend the planet against catastrophic asteroid impacts.

Boooooooo!!

Fun suckers.

And it's not even close season yet.

this is great fun

asteroid impact calculator

you can choose the trajectory angle, diameter, velocity, density, what the asteroid is made of and how far you are in distance from the impact...

it then comes up with the impact values from your choices and gives you resulting crater depth and width, ejecta thickness, fireball radius, kinetic energy and even how loud it will be.

Reading is a nice enough town but why spend your final hours there?

I think this one will hit. We have more than an hour, though.

'God of Chaos' asteroid Apophis could still hit Earth in 2029, study hints — but we won't know for 3 more years

New simulations reveal that there is an extremely small chance that the "city-killer" asteroid Apophis could be nudged onto a collision course with Earth by another asteroid before it flies past our planet in 2029.

It's only a "City" killer, can we nominate a favourite city for it to hit?

RIGHT UP ITS TUNNEL!!!
