MB!

Right. Go back to high school, it might do you some good.

we don't even know if he will still be here at that point.

wilson is that you?

Someone who plays Tight End winning the Heisman. Uh huh.

Yeah, so you're saying he's going to be better than Shockey or Winslow III, two of the best TEs to come along in quite some time?

Keep in mind, neither of those guys even so much as sniffed the Heisman.

And Big 12 POY in bball, that's just a joke, right?

Looks like you caught a couple of fish there...

Not worth keeping, I suggest just throwing them back

ALLSOME!!

You guys got baited by a kid in high school!

What's next, falling for some of Patch's bait?

In Brandiesque "MB who"?

Way to take something that's pretty funny and make it not funny at all.

I almost, but not quite, feel sorry for you Ags. The better he gets as an athlete the higher his draft status will be in the NBA. He clearly prefers basketball as he wouldn't go to a school that wouldn't let him play both sports. When he goes early, and he will most likely after his sophomore year, I will be laughing my butt off while also breathing a sigh of relief. He was a great pickup for the Ags but your problem is that he is too good to stay at this level.

That's how I feel when I'm in Austin and a queer parade breaks out. It's funny, but I'm scared they'll start rioting.

obligatory post to get yet another thread to end with my name as the last to post

Are you saying that the vaporized matter ejected from the blast will not contribute to moving the main mass in the opposite direction?

Or are you saying that the entire asteroid, or enough of the asteroid so as to leave only insignificant bits behind, will be vaporized during the blast(s)?


As for the first, the vaporized matter certainly does propel the asteroid. If you take some gravel on the asteroid and make it go thataway then the rest of the asteroid will be pushed an equal amount in the opposite direction. Now vaporize the gravel and make it go thataway... the asteroid's still pushed an equal amount in the opposite direction.

As for the second, breaking up a asteroid into chunks, say, less than 10 cubic meters would certainly keep it from being a single large impact on the Earth.

Take a 1 km chunk of rock and hit it with a 50 mt blast and there probably won't be much left of a solid core. But the whole thing probably won't be vaporized, either. You've created millions of small, fast, randomly distributed moving masses. Better, IMO, to calculate the blasts appropriately so as to leave the mass of the asteroid intact.

sorry, wrong thread.

Guys, I'm really having trouble following this thread.

What the heck are we talking about?

We go from smack regarding the athletic prowess of Martellus to discussion of ways to move or destroy an asteroid?

I've gotta go home and lay down for a little while. Nothing making sense to me on this board anymore.
