NASA scientists will track asteroid 2005 YU55 from the agency's Deep Space Network for at least four hours each day
from Nov. 6 through Nov. 10, as the space rock makes its closest approach to Earth on Nov. 8 at 6:28 p.m. EST.

They've already explained that (although relatively near) it will pass by the earth far far away.
There's no danger at all. I wonder why so many asteroid threads are on the front page lately? :puzzled:

We are getting closer to 2012 and everybody is getting paranoid with the end of the world, the same hapened the year 2000 ...and we are still here
 
in 4 billion years time when the world will possibly end, do you think people will believe them, :pandalaugh::pandalaugh::pandalaugh:

at that time people will have sandwich boards saying "THE WORLD IS NOT NIGH"

come on guys get real, I have got at least 60 years left, grrrrrrrrrrr 60 years of taxes, bloody governments

but think about the positive things 60 years of new Idols :gayprance::gayprance::gayprance:

and for all the serious collectors 60 years worth of HDD
 
supposedly it DO becomes a threat, what they'll do? lol

im not really convinced if we actually have something that is enough to blast a astronomical object that are large enough to become a global threat, micro meteorites strikes like often and some car sized or bigger pieces do fall and sometimes could land on someone's lawn makin holes tho nobody got hurt seriously so far.

but then if you google for space defence, we got quite a deal of problem on safely disposing our bus sized satellites safely back to earth, so for me that's a let alone disposing some solid ball of rock that probably would need to be a size of a small island to be a viable threat globally

maybe we can send bruce willis to drill? :pandalaugh:
