A 140 meter rock isn't a big deal. It can be nuked to knock it out of the way, or to blow it apart. Even if one hit that we didnt know about, there would be a less than 1% chance that it would hit a city.

It is the Mt. Everest sized rocks that are serious biz.

about equivalent to a 150 megaton explosion. so unless you think that only extinction level events are a big deal, i'd say this qualifies.

it's funny because nuking it isn't even something that's being discussed, why do you think that might be?

150 megatons is a pretty big blast (I thought that the article said 100 not 150)

But it is still only a littl bit larger than the largest nuclear bomb. The US and Russia have blown up thousands of bombs in the pacific, some of them, the "Tzar Bomba", were 50 megatons.

It would take a rock 10x that size to cause a global scale reaction.

dunno man, depends what it's made of. even if it manages to miss major metropolitan areas, i think it's gonna be a pretty crappy decade for that hemisphere. like i said, not extinction level, but something 3 times the size of the tsar flying uncontrolled into earth qualifies as a big deal.

tunguska was estimated to have been around 10-15 megatons.

    • lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.
    • I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.  
    • As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
