Three giant asteroids heading towards Earth

02-13-2011 • Terrence Aym

Three huge asteroids are barreling through space on a rendezvous with Earth and there's not a damn thing anyone can do about it. Tens of thousands of asteroids and comets haunt the space ways, some changing their orbits every time they pass near a large gravitational field like one of the outer gas giants or swing close by the sun. Their orbits are often changeable and unpredictable. The ones marked as possibly hazardous to the health of the human race are tagged as Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHA). Many PHAs exist out there, completely unknown and invisible. Some of those could be the size of Pluto…or larger. What's really frightening is no one knows where they are, how many exist or when they might show up unannounced. What is known? Three asteroids—all PHAs—are heading towards Earth and we have no technology available to stop them.

The problem with Helium is that when you inhale enough of it, you displace the oxygen. Before you die you begin to suffer neurological deficiencies. This seems to be the case with almost all the posts from the Helium site. Check here for real actual data: http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news133.html

No doubt the discounting of the possibility of a collision is due to a massive conspiracy within nasa and the astronomy community in general who are planning to all move to a secrete site so that they can come out after the destruction and rule the earth.
