Recommended Posts

A Russian scientist has identified a huge asteroid that crosses the Earth's orbit every three years.

A high probability for collision with a large object could be a formula for cementing humanity into a common need for survival instead of the idiotic fighting over arbitrary boundaries.

I agree, for the most part, but you'd still have the looters and other people who think they can survive the strike.

In the event that an Earth smasher was to... smash Earth, well, it's been a good run. :tsu:

Doubtful. The developed nations would get together long enough to blow it up and then go back to squabbling. And there is a purpose for boundaries. After all, I don't want my country overrun with low skilled, uneducated, future welfare recipients, who will take a share in an ever shrinking job market. Oh, wait, never mind, what was I thinking....

That'll never happen. We're too tribal and competitive to ever become a unified species. If we ever reach the point of colonizing other planets, I can see individual countries staking claim to entire worlds, but not much more than that.
