    I've been having a rough couple of weeks, and seeing this again in HD cheered me up incredibly.


    Everything I do is just fine, and I like being here right now. And man o man, won't it be crazy if that happens during my lifetime? Wowza.


    The people who think this is depressing care way too much about the little things. Life will return one day, maybe. In the meantime, PLANET OF FIRE!!! yay!

    I'm so ready for that rock right now. The Earth and humans in general are long overdue for a Hollywood style reboot.


    Wow, I'm not in a very good mood today..

    That was...awesome. Though I doubt the impact shockwave would uproot Japan like that. It's integrated into the crust of the Earth.

    @jedimaster0103: Looks like this thing would shake the tectonic plates and reach the Earth core. Of course Japan would get uprooted.

    15 Megaton blast?

    There was a 50 Megaton Fission bomb detonated decades ago and that didnt destroy the earth and consume it in a fire blanket.

    am i missing something? how could something w/ 3 times less energy cause so much more devastation? I think Giz messed up the facts here.

    something that big traveling that fast should carry a little more energy than that.

    This is a reminder: Live life to its full potential. Never leave things for tomorrow, because there may be no tomorrow.
