We've already solved this. We just need to train a team of dysfunctional oil drillers to send up to the asteroid.

Armageddon, the mega block buster hit movie of 1998

[โ€“] EddoWagt@feddit.nl 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Thanks! I can't for the life of me remember when I watched that, especially since I wasn't even alive when that came out. Maybe we watched it in school or something

Not to be confused with the other mega block buster hit movie about an asteroid hitting earth released one month earlier in 1998, Deep Impact.

Deep Impact is to Armageddon as Volcano is to Dante's Peak.
