Saw a documentary about 10 years ago where they talked about the huge asteroid hitting down off of Mexico and causing a catastrophic event that led to the end of the dinosaurs.

Perhaps the title should be 'The moment that doomed the dinos'.

Damn Thanos, that's one heck of a snap.

F*&%ing fascinating article.

And there's talk of creating a program to monitor and knock these asteroids off their earthly collision path. We couldn't do shit all about redirecting a 6 mile wide rock.

 

[Mr Pepsi]

I don't think we could divert a half mile wide rock.

 

[aminalmutha]

What would Brian Boitano do?

I don't think we could divert a half mile wide rock.

If you push on it early enough you could. Moving it .0000001 degree when its WAAAAAAYYYYYYY far off could get the job done.

What would Brian Boitano do?

He'd make a plan, and he'd follow through.

Imagine though just walking around and looking down you see something that looks like a fossil and realizing what you see is a moment in time when much of life on the planet died or was in that process.

Lucky for us there are people who can see such things and tell a story to the rest of us that almost paints a movie. Hats off to those who pursue these things.

I completely agree, and the stories are amazing, but I do feel like every six months or so the story changes with pretty much the same evidence to tell their version of the story.
