This is scaryyyyyyyyy!!
I was looking at a TV program about astronomy and some phenomenoms from the planet and outerspace, and they said that theres an asteroid called Toutatis that was discovered in 1989 by a french astronomer, and then NASA target it in 1990, well the point is, that it is 4 kms wide, and you know whats the best part, its going to pass 1000000 kms from planet earth on Spet 29 2004, 1 million kms in outerspace is very little distance, they said that governments from the biggest countries already know about the problem, but they dont want to cause panic, the other thing they said is that , US and Europe already working on an atomic weapon that can make the asteroid change direction, but if you dont believe me, heres what I found.... Just click play...........
The page was in spanish but this is translated

It appears that every 4 years the asteroid is close to us. Why was this not an issue in 2000 or 1996 or 1992?

Because people are desperate little beings. We tend to worry and panic. There are lots of things society doesn't and shouldn't know. An asteriod heading towards Earth is just one of them.

YAY!!! The Apocalypse is coming!!! My prayers to Lucifer has been answered!!!
kidding. and let's hope that not all the parts in the movie Armageddon were fictional.
Blimy! will we be able to see it passing us? or will it screw up the earth's orbit?

this is very freaky shit, but it doesn't bother me, you have to die sometime, why not in a big smoke covered planet that either burns you alive or you die of lack of air

um... people dont make a big deal about it because of this......
its not going to hit the Earth!
we know an estimated 5% of the PHA's, and nasa has a reletively new satalite which is made soley to discover such an asteroid.
the true PHA's are not orbiting in the given fasion that the planets do, but rather an orbit perpindicular to it, which makes it harder to discover.
i wonder if this asteroid on sept. 29 is going to cross the northern hemisphere, if so, ill take a picture of it

jaime mausan's page! he is crazy! i dont know how u belive he's crap!
remember the timewhen he said he had this bracelet that teletransported him... they said they found it in a alien a guy found in the woods, they madre this huuuge thing about it and then he just said nothing and later i heard he said it was all bs buti never heard him in tv, but he was so convinced it was!
anyoine who has seen him knows what im talking about, and anyways who cares if an asteriod id going to hit or past close... if were going to die were going to die and that atomic bomb stuff.... too much movies...
