Could We Survive The Asteroid That Killed The Dinosaurs ► Subscribe: https://goo.gl/r5jd1F 66-million-years ago, the dinosaurs were still the rulers of the Earth. These creatures roamed the ancient continents for millions of years. But little did they know that life, as they knew it, was about to come to an end. From the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter came a mountain-sized space rock on a direct collision course with Earth. It hit the planet leaving behind a huge crater 115 miles in diameter, and 12 miles deep. The impact unleashed a cataclysmic force that not only led to the extinction of the dinosaurs, but also nearly wiped out all life on the planet. So what would happen if the same size asteroid, traveling at the same speed, hit the Earth today in the same place? We can get a fairly good idea by playing out that scenario with what we know of the asteroid, and the capabilities that we have with modern technology in stopping such a threat, and ensuring the survival of our species. But would humanity survive? Could we stop this cosmic threat?
