We watched as the bombs shattered the second comet into a million pieces of ice and rock that burned harmlessly in our atmosphere and lit up the sky for an hour. Still, we were left with the devastation of the first. The waters reached as far inland as the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys. It washed away farms and towns, forests and skyscrapers. But, the water receded. The wave hit Europe and Africa too. Millions were lost, and countless more left homeless. But the waters receded. Cities fall, but they are rebuilt. And heroes die, but they are remembered. We honor them with every brick we lay, with every field we sow, With every child we comfort, and then teach to rejoice in what we have been re-given. Our planet. Our home. So now, let us begin.
The serious asteroid watchers know the big ones by name, diameter, composition, orbit, spin and potential troublesomeness.
There’s Apophis, for example, a rock bigger than the Pentagon, which on April 13, 2029, will pass close enough to the Earth to be seen with the naked eye and quicken the pulse. There’s Toutatis, mountain-sized tumbling and, fortunately, at a safe distance. There’s 2005 YU55, a quarter of a mile wide, which passed the Earth at roughly moon distance a little over a year ago.
And now comes 2012 DA14, a rock the size of an apartment building that on Friday will buzz the Earth at a distance of about 17,200 miles. It poses no hazard. It won’t generate the slightest breeze or disturb a single mote of dust meandering in a sunbeam.
DA14 is too small to see with the naked eye. Though it will pass just inside the orbit of communications satellites, the chance that it will obliterate anyone’s favorite TV show is vanishingly remote.
.... The U.S. space agency NASA has said an asteroid known as 2012 DA14, about 46 meters in diameter, would have an encounter with Earth closer than any asteroid since scientists began routinely monitoring them about 15 years ago. Television, weather and communications satellites fly about 500 miles higher. The moon is 14 times farther away.
A meteor shower has rained down on central Russia, sowing panic as hurtling space debris exploded in the air, blew out windows and injured dozens of people.
The Russsian Emergencies Ministry reported a meteoroid exploded in the skies above the Urals region, sending a shock wave that shattered windows.
"A meteorite (sic) disintegrated above the Urals, partially burning up in the lower atmosphere," the local office of the national emergencies ministry said in a statement.
About 400 people have been injured after a meteorite shot across the sky in central Russia.It sent fireballs crashing to Earth, smashing windows and setting off car alarms.Residents on their way to work in Chelyabinsk heard what sounded like an explosion, saw a bright light and then felt a shockwave, according to a Reuters correspondent in the industrial city 1,500km east of Moscow.
....I address you tonight, not as the President of the United States, not as the leader of a country, but as a citizen of humanity.
We are faced with the very gravest of challenges, The Bible calls this day Armageddon. The end of all things.
And yet for the first time...in the history of the planet, a species has the technology… to prevent its own extinction. All of you praying with us need to know… that everything that can be done to prevent this disaster… is being called into service.
The human thirst for excellence, knowledge every step up the ladder of science, every adventurous reach into space, all of our combined modern technologies and imaginations, even the wars that we’ve fought, have provided us the tools… to wage this terrible battle.
Through all the chaos that is our history, though all of the wrongs and the discord, through all of the pain and suffering, Through all of our times, there is one thing that has… nourished our souls. And elevated our species above its origins. And that is our courage.
Dreams of an entire planet are focused tonight… on those 14 brave souls… traveling into the heavens. And may we all, citizens the world over, see these events through. God speed and good luck to you.
If given conditions, I can die for humans?
Yes, I will.
Oh!
Good morning. Good morning....
In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world, and you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind.
Mankind,
that word should have new meaning for all of us today.
We can't be consumed by our petty differences any more.
We will be united in our common interest.
Perhaps it's fate that today is the 4th of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom.
Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution,
but from annihilation.
We're fighting for our right to live,
to exist
and should we win the day,
the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday,
but as the day when the world declared in one voice,
Wrestling should be removed from the 2020 Olympic Games, the International Olympic Committee’s Executive Board said in a surprise recommendation on Tuesday as it looks to revamp the Games sports programme.
Current Summer Olympic Program The following sports (or disciplines of a sport) make up the current Summer Olympic Games official program and are listed alphabetically according to the name used by the IOC. The figures in each cell indicate the number of events for each sport contested at the respective Games.
Ahhhh.... how can I say, This is "Weird Lady's Restroom" located in Japan, Shinjuku.... But, well, this is Taiwanese restaurant toilet, ....Anyway,.... Japan....(・o・) SEIRYUMON TEN AND CHI
This is someone’s idea of humor, no doubt lifted straight out of the pages of the Horror Movie Plot Device Rulebook, so we’re assuming the owner of Ten and Chi, in the Lemina Building in Shinjuku, Tokyo, is probably a big fan of that genre, or some sick horror director him- or herself. It’s likely a safe assumption at this point for anyone who has lived through the experience.
Once you, the pretty user, are comfortably seated, trying to take care of things as fast as possible, it starts. The elephantine floor-to-ceiling head, nicknamed “TenChi,” slowly starts approaching. It’s like that scene in “Saw V,” in which Agent Peter Strahm was trapped between two slowly advancing walls, only to be crushed to bloody splinters within a matter of minutes.
Take that in, people.
But it does not stop there. You have to set the mood, the ambiance, too. Is there a better way to achieve that than with loud, maniacal music accompanied by some continuously looped nonsense vocals (that sound like fingernails scratching against a blackboard), blaring from the mouth of your monstrous restroom murderer?....
