We'll have to wait another 15 years for Fallout 3...

Post by Kreegle »

<strong>[ -> N/A]</strong>

Like the subject of this post says, it looks like we'll have to wait another 15 years or so for Fallout 3... because that's when this <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/2147879.stm" target="_blank">bloody huge rock</a> will crush us and devestate the world. Oh well.<blockquote><em>An asteroid discovered just weeks ago has become the most threatening object yet detected in space. <br><br>A preliminary orbit suggests that 2002 NT7 is on an impact course with Earth and could strike the planet on 1 February, 2019 - although the uncertainties are large. <br><br>Astronomers have given the object a rating on the so-called Palermo technical scale of threat of 0.06, making NT7 the first object to be given a positive value. <br><br>From its brightness, astronomers estimate it is about two kilometres wide, large enough to cause continent-wide devastation on Earth.

</em></blockquote>Oh well kiddies, get out your shovel and buckets and start digging! We'll need those vaults to be DEEP in your parents backyards... sure, it will be hard work, but just think... you'll be INSIDE Fallout 3! Hurrah! If Interplay want to make any more cash from the Fallout series, they've got some serious racing-against-the-clock to do now.<br><br>Cheers for that one, Geoffrey Chang!

The chances of anyone from this forum surviving a direct impact of an asteriod that's 2km wide is very very very puny.

In fact, the chances of any of us (inhabitants of planet Earth) to survive it are still very small.

p.s.
I'm not talking about the impact itself but about the things it will change on Earth.

Oh and.....17 years is enough...LETS PARTY!!!!

Yeah, sure; whatever comforts you.

Erm, the error factor for the earth orbit intersection calculations assumes a current +/- of the 10 million km order of magnitude. Thats quite uncertain, even in astronomical terms.

But, just in case I may set about building a turbo-plasma rifle to cook raiders with...

To quote TISM:

Bash this up your ginger.
Don't you wish a comet would forget jupiter
and try for the jackpot and hit us instead?
We would all be cactus, but at least there is a bright spot
At least we'd all die knowing Doug Mulray was dead.
Poor old Tony Barber, he's an alcoholic,
at least that's the rumour and here's another one
I also heard that prick Alan Bond got packraped
If humans were destroyed at least that's been done.
Anyway, back to Tony Barber, he'd be off the bottle
just about forever if we were blown to bits.
We'd never have to watch another Workcare advertisment
we could just cry out "It's working!" as the fucker hits.
Celestial bodies time to do your duty
knock this stinking planet for a stinking six
You'll hear me screaming "Yeah! You fucking beauty!"
Humans are all arseholes except for the pricks.
