      Don’t Look Up was them telling us to prepare for it, without causing mass hysteria and chaos.

      China’s going to make Stonehenge by the end of the decade. And I’m not talking about the historical site.

      I stg if China becomes the new USA I will move to China. This is the shit we are supposed to be doing not whatever the hell the billionaires seem to want us to be doing.

      I already formed a planetary defense team. We have decades of experience defending the earth from space invaders on Atari.

      It’s amazing that Trump has single handedly turned China into the world’s protector. China understands that being a global superpower is only worthwhile if there is a globe to be a superpower within. Trump doesn’t understand anything other than personal grievance and destruction of anything that humanity cares about.

      How long before trump tells Elon to make spacex build anti-planetary defense systems to stop china from being the ones to protect earth?

      I know this will be a really really dumb question but I’m going to ask just in case.

      So many of these space simulations are crazy accurate to the minute. Are there currently any predictions as to Where it will hit on the Earth?

      What the fuck did all the fences on this planet do to China??
      And what does that have to do with asteroids?

      Imagine the international situation where a nation has the ability change the impact band out of its territory and into others’ but not entirely deflect the impact from Earth.

      so is china gonna send an intercept and break it up or nudge it’s course increasing the probability it will hit the earth?

      is there a go fund me?

      The chance of it hitting the earth are at 2.2% probability as of now. In case it does hit ( in 8 years time) it could potentially erase cities. So the step to maybe shoot something up there to not let it happen is a good idea. Wouldn’t have put my finger on china in this case, but I guess we got a new world police as of quite recently.

      Honestly I trust China to defend the Earth more than the US. The US would do something like create a space ark only for the rich.

      It’s time for the world to realize: The American century is over. A new nation rises to take leadership, while the US devolves into idiocracy. China are the new adults in the room.

      If it looks like it’s gonna hit the US they’ll go back to bed and not launch anything at the asteroid. 🤷‍♂️

      Aaaaand movies taught us, that goverments are using this kind of excuse to either build a gigant space ship just big enough to resuce the human kind because a world destroyer is coming or they are preparing for an alien invasion… whatever happens we are fucked.

      Half the comments here read like they were submitted directly by the CCP, what the hell is happening to this sub?

    24. misterspatial on

      The ccp propagandists are hitting this sub pretty hard lately. Looking more like r/sino.

      Wish the mods can do their job and steer it back on an unbiased course.
