I was talking about a movie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leader Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 While the asteroid poses absolutely no threat to humanity, the goal of the test mission is to determine whether intentionally crashing an object into an asteroid is an effective way of changing its course, should an asteroid ever set its sights on Earth.

Leader Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 CNN - The man accused of careening his SUV into a Wisconsin parade, killing six people and injuring more than 60 others, was a registered sex offender in Nevada and had an active arrest warrant in that state, court records show. He was also released on bond this month after allegedly running over a woman who said she's the mother of his child earlier this month, according to court documents. /// How is it possible that the WI folks - after punching this guys name into some computer and realizing he had an active arrest warrant out on him - didnt call the folks in Nevada to tell them "We've got your guy...what do you want us to do with him?"
