For purpose of discussion, assume that due to bad luck, this asteroid has evaded the detection of all amateur and professional astronomers until about six months from impact. The asteroid is too large to deflect with humanity's current spacefaring capabilities, and the general scientific consensus is that the impact will end all multicellular life on Earth.
What do those six months look like?
We'd train a team of dudes who drill for oil led by Bruxe Willis to be astronauts
I asked Michael why it was easier to train oil drillers to become astronauts than it was to train astronauts to become oil drillers and he told me to shut the fuck up, so... that was the end of that talk.
I'm pretty sure we'd do the same IRL ar this point to save money or cause destroying the asteroid was a privatized contract or something.
