Dr. Kennedy Green's Comparison's Between Asteroids and Meteors.
Meteor
Meteors are bits of dust and gravel that are left in the wake of a comet. The meteors burn up in earth's atmosphere causing meteor showers. When a meteor lands on Earth it becomes a meteorite. When meteors land on Earth they cause little damage.
Asteroid
Asteroids are miniature planets, most commonly found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. On occasions an asteroid will be bumped out of the ring and make its way to Earth. Its effect is disastrous once it hits Earth, doing lots of damage.
Comparison
Meteors hit Earth's atmosphere all the time you can see them, they are shooting stars. Asteroids however rarely almost never hit Earth. Meteors almost never make it through Earth's atmosphere while asteroids always do. Asteroids also cause I lot more damage than meteors.
Dr. Jace Shulfer's Plan to Destroy the Asteroid
- My plan to destroy the asteroid is to get all my fellow researchers from my classroom at NASA.
- We are going to build a space rocket and fly it into space. When we get into the asteroid's vicinity the rocket will release the nuclear bomb.
- The bomb will set the asteroid off course, away from Earth.
- After we do so we will fly to the moon and have ice cream then fly back.
Dr. Landon Fletcher's Risks That Accompany the Plan
- Particles that emanate from nuclear bombs cause severe health issues and can kill. The bomb will be set off away from Earth's atmosphere, so the bomb radiation will not put anyone in harm's way.
- The shell of the rocket and bomb could make it's way into earth's atmosphere but it would burn up.
Dr. Mackenzie VanDenBogart's Plan to Protect the Humans
How we are going to protect Earth's little civilians while Dr. Shulfer's plan is underway? Simple, Holes! We will evacuate the areas the asteroid appears to hit and those civilians will go into underground bunkers along with the rest of Earth's population. These bunkers will be organized by country, and families will remain together. We are prepared for everything from emergency fires, airlock systems, ventilation shafts, underground farming and agriculture, to underground hospitals. we are confident in the sustainability of these underground bunkers. If the nuking goes as plan these bunkers can remain intact for the use of future generations. We already ave worked out the food, medicine, water, and electricity limits and rations per household.
