We can currently go much faster than humans can tolerate and the difference is minor in space speed. Nuclear power once attached then provides endless years of service in the new frontier.
What could possibly go wrong? You are correct though, it is going to happen eventually. All these greedy billionaires going to space. One miniscule mistake and it could have a big impact.
"... if one was ready". This makes two assumptions. First, the ability to interact at all with an object passing at these velocities and second... the actual existence of any such "planetary defense system". Thats a big LOL from me! 😆
@chuck6458 did you miss the part where he said it was the size of a bus? It is only 36 feet in diameter. In order for an asteroid to be big enough to even level a city, it would have to be around 460 feet in diameter. We are in no danger from this asteroid and wouldn't be even if we had the technology and intent to capture it.
@@veganken88 Not really what I was getting at. I realize everything you stated. There are many more objects out there, and many more we probably don't know about. As they say, time will tell.
What material(s) is it comprised of? How would anyone have time to know this, to then anticipate trajectory and predict if it can or will break up entering, or leaving orbit? This report is just a best guess, based on hope and prayers.. or planned disclosure to keep the masses in check. question everything
“It’s, like, a little, teeny tiny, little moon.” “In no way is it going to come close enough to threaten us in any way” I’m losing brain cells here lol
Just a thought. There seems to be a lot more asteroid debri around these days. Could they be a prelude to a bigger event? My reason. If some where a long time ago . Say maybe a million years ago. Ikn maybe from a super nova or countless other reasons. Then the debri from that would start small and just get bigger. To the point of a very large amount of rocks coming all at once? Just a thought. I remember watching something by the BBC a long time ago. Something like , when our solar system goes through the central plain of our galaxy ( A very busy area) it can disturb the ort cloud. It takes about a million years for the disturbed asteroids and meteors to reach the inner parts of our solar system. I'm pretty sure they reckoned it had been about a million years since we last passed through it. So that might explain something. Or not.
So that little thing is the new moon, so what is the bigger object closer to the camera. Yeah, I don't believe any of it now that I've seen this picture.
@@shannoncunningham7833 I know what Venus looks like as an avid astronomy buff. This thing I saw was like a very bright, orangy/red ball that was slowly moving downwards from the sky from the east way high up then it streaked away at breakneck speed.
I would love to smoke what they smoking :) Asteroid coming decides to stay for few month and become moon :D and then magically escapes earth gravity witch puld in and hold it in first place ?????
I'm not surprised we aren't told about these. No good upsetting people if they're not going to hit us or even if they are, especially if we didn't see them coming is it? I suppost the rich could get in their bunkers faster though!
I stopped watching when he said the pyramids were here 2000 yrs before we started to study the sky.. he should probably do some research about the pyramids
Pup, hope your doing good I’m watching the nasa eyes you tube channel while I listen to books The news travel fast & almost hit us 2 or 3 times a months It surprised me ❤️ U
It corrected course and is slowly changing speed to 2200 mph from 31000. Why are there conflicting reports. I worked for the government and this is not how info gets thrown around with this kind of severity!!!!
How is this crap coming back.. when it shoots out it would keep going so how why in the hell would it come back makes no sense. How is it tuning around
Search for NEO Orbit Visualizer. It will allow you to plug in 2024 PT5 and watch its orbital path. It’s really cool. It basically just gets yanked around by the planets.
That’s what I’m sayin…this whole situation feels weird. It’s leaving here and going back to the NEO Arjuna asteroid belt and coming back around Earth in 31 years during 2055. Doesn’t that mean we should’ve seen this same exact asteroid 31 years ago in 1993?? So either this asteroid doesn’t follow the rules/laws of planetary gravitational pull, it’s not actually from the Arjuna belt, or it’s not an actually an asteroid?? Also, how is this going to affect our tides? I know it’s only 22 miles wide but if an object of that size would cause catastrophic events if it hit earth then why wouldn’t it cause some kind of change to our gravity down here? If our gravitational pull is strong enough to slow it down from 22,000 mph and hold it for 50+ days then how is it leaving Earth’s gravity? I understand the basis of slingshotting a satellite off a gravitational orbit BUT we don’t have satellites that move through space at 22k MPH!!! The math ain’t mathing good. Someone please explain this because I genuinely don’t understand and want to learn.
remember that our solar system (mainly our sun) is also circling its own Milky Way orbit.. this asteroid just intersects along that path, which so happens to be Earth this time.. that's why it has enough energy to be flung back out
@@timh.2137 _teeny weeny moon_ it will be a natural object that will temporarily orbit around the planet. It does fit the actual definition of a moon. Just not very impressive.
There are 2 problems with detected but unstudied asteroids. As they head toward our planet they might encounter other asteroids or space junk, and at their high rate of speed break off chunks of asteroid that then are on a separate trajectory and more likely to veer towards Earth due to less momentum to pass by . The second is in the leaving of earth in the sector where Earth’s gravity is acting to decelerate the object. Not knowing the integrety of the formation, decelerating forces could cause the asteroid to break apart dependingon the angl it sweeps through - the worst case being as it just passes Earth and acceleration switches to a pulling force.
There's nothing to worry about that one oct 2024 wud melt thru earths atmosphere its basically made of ice chit how we miss that one i was looking south goddamit shh its millions miles away no problem ok
