Apophis

In 2029 (23 years from now), an asteroid named "Apophis" will come so close to the Earth that it will pass between us and our communications satellites. "Whew" you say? Not really, because 7 years later in 2036 is will come a bit closer, actually striking the Earth. This isn't guaranteed yet, but the best minds studying this believe it will happen. When it does, we will be fucked. Actually, it isn't big enough to be a global killer, but it will wreak some serious havoc. The entire West coast of the US will be wiped out, as well as the coasts of many other countries (It should strike the pacific ocean). O.K. people. We need to make a plan for this. How can we stop this from happening? We need to get the best minds from DOU together and find a solution to this problem. Then when we do, I will contact NASA and JPL and tell them what to do. So, if you have an idea (other than sending Bruce Willis up with a nuke), post it here. Tommy
