Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson explains how NASA deflects the asteroids that are careening toward our planet.
(FOX 'After The Bell' segment opens with NASA TV imagery)
Interviewer:"NASA is tracking multiple asteroids approaching Earth's orbit...at un-imaginable speed! SHOULD WE BE AFRAID OF THESE ASTEROIDS??"
Neil DeGrasse Tyson:
"The Solar System is a shooting gallery....there are rogue asteroids, whose orbit cross the orbit of the Earth.... THEY ARE AN ISSUE....but not a problem PROVIDING we know where they are, can track them, AND how to deflect them."
Poster Comment:
Oooo-kay...I watched this and was thoroughly entertained. You will be as well.
"Astrophysicist" -- what does that job description even mean? The truth: They are so titled (and paid) to be mere "Theorists" of Space, Matter, and Time.
Anyway...
How much do you suppose it would cost NASA to track AND deflect "rogue asteroids" from smashing into the earth, and saving us...like Hollywood disaster flick and scripts we've already seen?
From start to finish this is one strange, theatrical interview and segment. It opens as expected -- with 'NASA TV' imagery.
How much un-believable or flat out lies, disproven sc-fi theories and claims, bogus imagery and scenarios can you count being advanced in this brief interview??
This from the man who downgraded Pluto. Perhaps he thinks it is an asteroid.
Asteroids exist, they fly by, some come close, most do not and the possibility we will see the one that hits very remote. He should go back to calculating the orbits of these asteroids, that is what an astrophysicist does, but I suspect that this idiot wasn't good at the game and so found a way to talk about space rather than do anything
