Comet to hit Mars in '14?

[Slang]

Are y'all really that gullible believing this?

nevermind

"The core of the comet will be moving 56 kilometers per sec when it smashes into Mars. The explosion it creates will be equal to*40 BILLION 500kt nuclear bombs(avg US and Russ arsenal weapon) going off at once, or 20 billion megatons of TNT, or 1.33 trillion Hiroshima bombs, or 1.3 billion Castle Bravo explosions. Its enough to kill all life on the planet if any were living there.*Astronomers predict a large-scale disaster on the Red Planet in October 2014, when a comet may ram into Mars, creating a 500-kilometer crater, the website of the Russian observatory ISON-NM said. [link to english.pravda.ru]*"

A 500km crater

All of usa and russias nukes going off at the same time and 1.333 trillion hiroshima bombs are equivalents.

Expect to hear more mainstream news on it when more data is in..supposedly they havent tracked the comet very long so they still are adjusting calculation..but most all calculations are pointing to direct impact with mars or a slight miss.

so we need to get our little Range RoVER off of the planet or else... or should we leave it there and shoot live video of the incident?

From the OP's post why wouldn't people assume mars would be destroyed?

It's physics. That's a lot of energy no doubt, but not even nearly close to the energy required to crack a planet in half. Think of shooting a bullet into metal sphere hundreds of times its size. Crude analogy but there you go.

EDIT: Not to mention the Hiroshima bomb was a fission bomb...we got shyt today that make that look like Wal Mart fireworks...so its pretty weak on a planetary scale.

500 KM is about 300 miles. It's going to make a big crater but that's about it. It might trigger a marsquake if there are sliding land plates on the planet.

Over 9000

I don't know, but that would be one major blow job.
