Oh massive, planet destroying asteroid, please make your way to earth in the next 10 years.

Their A/L?

Hm....NASA....A way to travel faster than light?

Something like that would probably not be announced by NASA, but rather JPL.

Anyway, this is an object they've been hunting in space for 50 years.

Man that word Object scares me

But I am guessing Big comet or asteriods

So it was an announcement about going back to the moon by 2020? F NASA.

I thought that had already been confirmed?

blebs99 wrote:Ha, your all wrong! They are announcing the largest asteroid found to date heading straight for us. Were all doomed, we'll never make it.

Perhaps...

Whatever it is, I hope it's + and not -

*Bump* to remind people of the event.

NASA to Announce Success of Long Galactic Hunt


WASHINGTON -- NASA has scheduled a media teleconference Wednesday, May 14, at 1 p.m. EDT, to announce the discovery of an object in our Galaxy astronomers have been hunting for more than 50 years. This finding was made by combining data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory with ground-based observations.

To participate in the teleconference, reporters must contact the Chandra Press Office at 617-496-7998 or e-mail mwatzke@cfa.harvard.edu. Live audio of the teleconference will be streamed online at:

Same stuff Brent showed earlier.. just updating the thread...its prob a big rock with 87 octane on it!!

edit: well apparently it's not on NASA tv - they're rebroadcasting an interview w/ the crew of the space station ...

edit edit: I KNOW WHAT IT IS!!! It's the Iludium PU36 Explosive Space Modulator!!!!

remains of a supernova ... B.F.D.

That was the big announcement?

And here I am raiding Walmart stockpiling on goods before the nuclear winter hits!

BFD indeed!

I knew Dr. Evil was still roaming the galaxy. This proves it.

The most recent supernova in our Milky Way Galaxy has been located 140 years after it exploded. NASA's Chandra X Ray Observatory and ground based radio dishes discovered the remnants of the supernova, known as G1.9+0.3. When it exploded 140 years ago in the middle of the Milky Way, it couldn't be seen optically because it was obscured by the surrounded dense gas and dust. Today, G1.9+0.3's expanding remnant is detectable in x-ray and radio waves by Chandra and a ground based array of dishes.

.

It seems that NASA is as equally skilled at putting the Fear Factor in their announcements as the government is.

I blame Brent! If he hadn't hyped it up so much I wouldn't be sitting in my bunker wondering what the hell I'm gonna do with 3,738 cases of dehydrated hossenfeffer.

The "breaking news" is so lame that the OP should ask for this thread to be deleted.

Yeah wtf!??! I was expecting a lifetime supply of 87 Octane for less than 1cent/gallon!!

[Price is Right lose noise]

whee

:rotfl:Aww the secrets out. Youngest? They even state that there should be younger ones!

Back in the day NASA was cool. Now it is a giant waste of this country's money the way it is working now. They should be putting up our military hardware or helping to find better ways to spot objects that would affect us period. Like meteors and comets or deadly solar flares, The things that can wipe out half the earth or all of it for that matter. Its obvious that they cant fix the tiles and foam problem so who the heck thinks they can go to the moon without spending a trillion dollars.

Fascinating Brent, thank you!
