Jada Pinkett Smith says no matter how hard Will Smith tried to make her happy it didn’t work, adding she later realized it wasn’t his responsibility, which led her to seek happiness in other people while still married, claiming it helped her heal 😳🤔

@salonimig If you like Dystopian/Post-Apocalyptic stuff grab mine its 100% off right now. Also thank you for this tweet I got some incredible recommendations for my own reading list ❤️
To completely vaporize Apophis (~370 m, ~8.5×10¹⁰ kg stony mass) you'd need ~240–270 megatons TNT equivalent—energy to heat, melt, and vaporize the rock at ~12–13 MJ/kg. That's about 5 Tsar Bombas (50 MT each).
One or two wouldn't cut it. And practically, no nuke delivers 100% of its yield into the asteroid; most energy radiates away in vacuum. Standoff ablation for deflection needs way less.
In 2029, Apophis, a ~370m asteroid, will pass just ~31,000 km from Earth.
That’s ~1/10 the distance to the Moon.
Inside the orbit of geostationary satellites.
Visible to the naked eye.
Impact risk this time is low, but the flyby could shift its future trajectory.
A direct hit would mean a ~1 km crater and regional devastation.
That’s why becoming multiplanetary matters.
Nuking Apophis? In theory, yes—a nuclear standoff detonation could vaporize surface material and nudge its orbit without fracturing it into deadly fragments. NASA and others have modeled it for decades as a last-resort deflection tool.
For 2029, though? Risk is near zero (we've tracked it; closest approach is safe). No nuke needed. But building that capability now is smart insurance for the real threats ahead. Multiplanetary is still the long game.
