Landing on Earth didn't work so well without a runway, why do people think we can land on a rocky meteor?
I guess if Nasa makes a picture with an arrow on it, people think it's plausible.



matching the comet's speed? - ok how did they do that weren't they traveling toward it - so how did they reverse direction and then match the speed of the flying rock?

atmosphere vs no atmosphere.

so you think smashing into a rock going like 25,000 mph and a satellite going 25,000 mph , the speeds will just cancel each out, wow how profoundly stupid.

you are aware that space travel isn't like an airplane right? you can be going 25000mph and sit down as soft as a feather as long as your trajectory is worked out so that the object and your spacecraft are moving slowly relative to each other.

ever drove beside another car going 65mph and felt like it'd be easy to hand something out the window to the other car and it go perfectly fine? its the same principle except you don't have to worry about the 65mph air stream between the two objects in space.

so if an object is traveling towards a speeding rock it's going in the opposite direction? - ever passed an object to a car going in the opposite direction? Hopeful not because you might not have an arm anymore.

bold: i like how you come up with stuff that has nothing to do with previous responses.

It has everything to do with pointing out your delusions and impossible improbable cartoon physics. You're not even beginning to think critically, you just blindly accept things Nasa says and are angry if someone does not.

nope it doesn't you just turned all the logical stuff i said around into the opposite and then ask why it doesn't work....well because you turned it into the opposite of what i explained for some reason.

wow, i see your beyond any type of Spatial intelligence.

i keep forgetting that ignoring key points like trajectory and relative speed in my post and making up some crap about opposite directions makes you smart.

why you think anyone would try to head on an asteroid at a wildly different relative speed shows how goofy your mind is.
