Snippets from article :
"A NASA scientist is warning that Earth is due for an “extinction-level” event like a comet or asteroid strike — and claims there won’t be anything we can do to stop it.
Joseph Nuth, an award-winning scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, told attendees during Monday’s annual American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco that policymakers should start preparing for such a possible cataclysmic strike, despite the extremely long odds of it happening.
“But on the other hand, they are the extinction-level events, things like dinosaur killers, they’re 50 to 60 million years apart, essentially,” Nuth said. “You could say, of course, we’re due, but it’s a random course at that point.”
Making matters even worse is Nuth’s claim that humanity isn’t close to being prepared for such a threat, The Guardian reported.
“The biggest problem, basically, is there’s not a hell of a lot we can do about it at the moment,” Nuth said."
Oh silly NASA predictive programming is for kids.
Anyways Discuss.
