No. I’m with @wyld.at.hrt on this one. If it’s big you need time. Think of the thin end of the triangle
All depends how soon you hit it as the recent DART mission proved:
So, time then.
Or a fucking huge rocket, hello BFR.
Space is big.
And, people (not you or your response) are less than efficient.
Would be one way to be remembered…
Her launch would go off trajectory, thrust would be insufficient, she wouldn’t separate properly from her booster and would ultimately burn on re-entry having not achieved the required 17,000mph orbital velocity.
A fart would be more effective.
In space no one can hear you fart. there’s a movie in that somewhere
Was it this one
Doug Trumble and Silent Runnings. What a film.
Prophetic, sadly.
She flies!!!
we have 7 years… this was a practice run. there’s a bigger piece of space coming our way in 2029 that is supposed to pass inside the moon’s orbit. 99942 Apophis - Wikipedia.
now I don’t know about you, but the margins of predicting something’s location 7 years from now to a location in space less than 40,000m away from our planet has me a bit concerned.
similar to what the DART just did as a “test run”, all it would take would be an small collision of something we haven’t seen to adjust the trajectory of this object to cause irreparable damage to Earth.
I’ll be keeping an eye on this for sure…
The power of Einstein. I’ve no doubt they’ll keep an eye on it though.
fixed it for ya.
There are currently 13 people in space, orbiting in 2 space stations:
ISS - 1 Italian, 2 Russians and 4 Americans.
CSS - 6 Chinese.
