Made me think, Hypothetical question, If it was made public that NASA had identified a projected impact with a 3 mile wide asteroid on 5 september 2029 what would your reaction be, and what would your thoughts be, also how would you see out your last days.....

how do you think the rest of the world would deal with it ?

just a little over 6 years from now, would civilisation falter ? would we deal with it and carry on as normal....

Non-Daily Mail-readers don't have these kind of problems.

Yes.
COVID proved that.

Just don’t look up…

[deja.vu]

Not start a sentence with “so” and if I really had to post it, I’d probably not put it in General Gassing

I’d continue with life as usual, especially the correct use of the English language before posting.

NASA had a team back in 1998 that flies up, drills a hole in them, then blows them up before they even reach Earth.
There shouldn’t be a problem.

The BBC prog Hard Sun was based on this premise, I was enjoying it shame it was dropped.

I’d post a click bait title and desperately hope my thread got really busy to give me a warm feeling inside….

Standard label for anything people would rather not think about it would appear. So yes.

I think David Bowie already covered this topic extensively in his thesis "5 years"...

For those of us who didn't stockpile the things, would an old cut up T shirt suffice?

[Tango13]

I'd blame it all on Brexit, migrants, COVID, the Tories, the labour party and the lib Dems.

Then put my feet up with some loud music and good whiskey

This is a world ending asteroid, FFP2 minimum. Over the nose as well.

Don't be an armageddumbo!

The Daily Heil would probably run headlines like ' How will an apocalyptic asteroid impact affect the value of YOUR house?"
