Lunar Armageddon

[Ikatsui]

For people who can't figure it out, a lunar armageddon is when the moon crashes into Earth. I think it is fairly possible.

 

Your thoughts?

[Rusty Shovel]

Tomorrow. 3 o'clock.

[Clair]

December 21 or December 23, 2012.

[EliminateHRN]

And how will that affect Earth. Owait...

 

I like the HSOWA Armageddon better. [/bad joke]

[Eury]

Elaborate how this is possible.

[Ikatsui]

Well, first of all, if something large enough hit the moon, it could knock it off of it's axis and send it crashing into the Earth. And even if it only sent it closer, it would still be devastating.

Everytime I here about the moon crashing into the earth, I always think of Majora's Mask.

 

I think it would be extremely bad, but an extremely cool way for the world to end.

Yes, that's fairly possibly once per every 65 million years or more. Wait, actually, the Moon is strong enough to withstand most forces even like the Dino Astroid. It's big and fat.

 

In the case you don't know Astrologia, the moon is drifting away from Earth. It would never hit from itself. If

Crashed into the Moon, strong enough to knock it off its axis, most of the time the moon would explode before that, and that shock will kill much, but it wouldn't really be as devastating as Moon itself hitting earth like a baseball.

[WTF]

earth gravitational pull is to heavy

 

 

it would take a while before it goes off orbit and moon loses control

This explains what happens before the world ends. xD

[Yankee]

Uh...from what I understand, the moon is actually getting farther away from us, not getting closer.

It can be possible that we will actually have a moon that is very far away in a thousand years.

[Tempest Dahlia]

This is impossible.

[Ikatsui]

You never know.

[DARKPLANT RISING]

You never know either.

[Guest JoshIcy]

?

And no, it won't happen for years unless NASA does something stupid.

Well, this is quite obvious. It doesn't take rocket science to figure that one out.

 

But here I pose another question; what is in our galaxy that could potentially crash into the moon? A random comet? Seriously, by the time this Lunar Armarandomness actually becomes a problem, we'll have a space laser that can destroy space debris that poses a threat to us. :/

[Tempest Dahlia]

You never know either.

...

...Well played, sir.

 

I just don't see something like this happening. Ever.

Now Saturn on the other hand (or whatev planet has 17 moons), has more of a chance, but they're too far away for Earth to care. So umm... yeah. That's what l think.

Nuclear Energy is more of a threat than the moon crawling down the water spout. Because down came the bomb rain that washed the humans out.

[Dark]

Nuclear energy? I love how everybody says that could be a potential cause of armageddon, even though it's not. That's about as logical as saying natural disasters wipe out our population.

 

Let's assume that one natural disaster kills 30,000 people, on average.

 

Let's take the 7 billion people we have, and divide it by the 30K.

 

That would mean there would need to be 23000+ natural disasters to wipe out our population. And furthermore, they'd have to be simultaneous, since our reproduction rate is off the hook.

 

Now let's say a nuclear explosion kills 20 times as many people (60000K, considering the initial blast plus the debris that kills others). 23000 divided by 20 is still 1150. We'd need over one thousand nuclear explosions to knock out the entire world population. And what is the probability that that many nuclear plants will go wrong at once? Pretty small. And they don't get dumbasses to run these plants. They get pretty smart people. :/

 

If you were talking about nuclear warfare, it cannot completely wipe out our population. I'm not sure at the total number of worldwide nuclear weapons, but even if they were all simultaneously launched, it would not kill everybody.
