As you may have noticed, it’s not 2032, so NASA was right.
Don’t worry! Asteroids cannot hit the same place twice!
Or something…
The real cover up is that they are saying meteors are hitting the moon and making craters when in fact, because the world’s natural cheese supply is dwindling, they are scooping giant chunks of moon cheese out and bringing it back to earth.
Don’t be ridiculous. Why wouldn’t they just take it from the side of the moon that is facing away from us…cmon guys
225m for a hit where there’s no atmosphere to slow it down. I wonder if something that would cause a that size of crater on the moon would even make it to the Earth’s surface, or if it would burn up before it hit.
It depends on the material.
If the same asteroid that created the 225m wide crater on moon hit earth instead it would burn up in earth atmosphere if it was rocky in nature (~3.6m wide, 73 tons).
If the crater was made by a mostly iron asteroid, it would create a 12.5m crater on earth (~2.3m wide, 51 tons).
The reason for this is that rocky asteroids shatter thus have bigger surface area to burn up.
Iron asteroids stay solid and survive the atmosphere much easily.
Big moon trying to get more crater impacts so they can sell you on more big craters.
When I was a kid I thought that any asteroid hitting Earth was bad. Now I gotta ask “where is it going to impact” first.
Also how big is it…
How fast is it going
