tldw Everyone assumes the US made a secret illegal armed space ship (they did) so almost every other country did too. The US was offended that anyone but them broke the rules but they all had to fight the moon nazis together so no big deal
At last an Onion article that makes me smile instead of weep for the state of politics being so bad that complete and utter batshit crazy nonsense is so hard to tell from news these days.

I'm not saying I'm on team asteroid...

But when 12.5 percent of the planets of the solar system commits 100% of the violence...

The (solar) system leaves them no other way of life! We need to make opportunities for them to orbit a stable planet and become moons.

Which would also stop the asteroid hitting us as it'd move itself off track

Or further on course…

If it shoots towards us it will therfore move away from us
Ziglin@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 1y
If it is on a trajectory past earth and it shoots at us it will slow it down, adjusting the trajectory and potentially hitting earth.

Is it that obvious?

Missiles don't have that amount of kickback unlike guns since their propulsion comes gradually and from themselves.

A bullet has roughly the kinetic energy of a punch
Surely a missile launch would be far higher due to the mass

The probability of an asteroid firing is very low, but never zero.
Comment105@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 1y
That's not true. The probability of an asteroid firing is actually very high, but they're very inaccurate.

The American military industrial complex is salivating right now

Why now?
The US military already has satellites than can drop artificial asteroids onto Earth, causing large localised, hard to detect and prevent damage.
Space has sadly already been weaponised.

Not officially, so one wonders how you got this info?
I mean, ICBMs are basically this, just unlaunched, but I doubt that's your point.
Semjaza@lemmynsfw.com · 1 pts · 1y
No updates in several years, and the human propensity to weaponised.

If an asteroid fires a missile and it enters the atmosphere, is the rest of the asteroid considered a meteor?
