Asteroid could take out vital telecommunications satellites.


Scientists say they are sure there is no chance of the 150ft (45.7m) wide space rock hitting the planetBut there is a remote possibility that it could collide with one of more than 100 telecommunication and weather satellites in fixed orbits above the Earth.The asteroid, 2012 DA14, has been closely tracked since its discovery a year ago. It is predicted to reach its nearest point to the Earth at around 7.30pm UK time on Friday.

Yup, motherfuckers everywhere will stop whatever they're doing and be standing around turning on and off their phones wondering what they're going to do now. The world will come to a standstill when their little leashes or computers fail, not allowing them to be told what to do next or not allowing them to view cute cat or camel toe pictures.
