NASA completely missed a giant asteroid that came mad close to the earth

There was a whale sized asteroid that whizzed by our planet that could have destroyed an entire city and NASA… missed it?

The large alien rock, called 2017 VL2, was passing through our solar system at a speed of 19,800 mph and was only 73,000 miles from our planet. That’s only one-third of the earth’s distance from the moon.

Sheesh, it seems like our American tax dollars are being invested into NASA naps. The asteroid, which passed by on November 9th, was picked up a day later.

C’mon, NASA you have one job and that is to notify us of celestial events that come close to peacing people.

Thank God 2017 VL2 didn’t make impact. According to The Watchers, the asteroid was one of the the largest and the 48th asteroid to pull up on Earth within 1 lunar distance since the start of the year.

So SKETCH.

2017 VL2’s diameter measured between 52 to 105 feet hurtling towards the planet 19,800 mph. Do the math sheeple. That is one fucked situation if it hit our planet.

No worries though. We still have another asteroid that could possibly hit our planet named Apophis. NASA is saying that Apophis will come even closer than 2017 VL2. To be exact within 18,300 miles of Earth’s surface.

It’s also much bigger, around the size of two and a half football fields with a diameter of 370 meters. The chances of Apophis making an impact are about one-in-four-million. Peep it flying through space.

It is expected to pass April 13, 2036. Maybe 2029 or even 2068. Who knows, NASA keeps changing the “calculations.”

What we do know is that NASA could drop the ball on this too. They missed 2017 VL2 and keep changing their calculations on Apophis’ trajectory path.

A big question comes into play here, ‘What if NASA is playing the shit out of humanity?’ If they are and Apophis does hit earth we are so fucked.

Astronomer Robert Walker of Science 2.0 went off in a blog post describing what would happen if Apophis did hit all according to an Asteroid Impact Risk Assessment.

The study stated that if a decent sized asteroid, around 200 meters, was to hit a body of water next to major city, like Rio de Janeiro it “could cause between 7.6 million casualties right next to the city, 2.35 million at a distance of 10 km and scaling down to 11 thousand at a distance of 300 km according to the same study.”

On land it would “create a large crater (as a rough guide the crater is ten times the diameter of the asteroid) and that could kill millions of people if it landed in or near a city.”

BODIES!

NASA needs to wake the fuck up. The whole world trusts you with their lives when it comes to foreign intergalactic objects. Stay on top of your shit.

You can’t afford to miss anything that happens to fly by earth! We don’t care if it’s a pebble you better know when its coming, when it passed, and if it could peace us.

A day later might be too late.
