Point to ponder....Would our government(s) tell us, should this asteroid pass through this proverbial keyhole, that we have seven years until we kiss ou asses goodbye? IF they did give us this warning, can you imagine the hysteria? Totally hypothetical, tiny chance of happening but it kind of makes you wonder.

Oh sounds interesting.

Actually the surrounding mountains around Hiroshima is why that site was selected. The nuke would do maximum damage as its force would be contained and prevented from dispersing. I read this in a book called "Decisions About the Bomb in the 20th Century."

Oh come on I thought it was funny :) Instead of growing up, how about we all lighten up a little. I live in California right now so I'll have to make sure we move FURTHER inland :) Peace.

Tyson is so passionate about science. I love his presentation and knowledge on everything.

Terrible idea. A nuke needs a medium through which to send its shockwave. In Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and in most places on earth, that's air. But there isn't any in space, so it's not going to be as pronounced.Check out the next part of this video, to figure out how we're REALLY going to save ourselves.
