martinss01;759850; said:yes, we used an impact vehicle to determine the composition of an asteroid. to date, nasa still has not come up with a viable plan to alter the course of an asteroid.

If that fails, we could just position Charlie Weis in the impact area and trampoline the fucking thing back into space.

gost8;759902; said:Or we could launch Charlie Weis into the asteroid and just destroy it so we don't have to worry about it anymore. (Would take a lot of rocket fuel to get him off the ground though.)

BB73;759929; said:Perhaps Weis could be sent to an all-you-can-eat buffet, and then have a NASA engineer point his mouth at the asteroid while sticking a finger down his throat.
Yeah but what do we do about the asteroid after that?Or we could launch Charlie Weis into the asteroid and just destroy it so we don't have to worry about it anymore. (Would take a lot of rocket fuel to get him off the ground though.)
