Uh... You are on the internet... figure it out.

I mean, apparently not?

Think about it... all the shit that was gonna hit the Earth... Kinda already has.

More profoundly...

Most of the shit that was about to hit the Earth, got pulled into the moon. Look at all them craters.

So what's left? A bunch of shit. But a bunch of shit that isn't gonna hit either of us. It's almost like delayed gratification, if you think about it.

The Earth/Moon busted eachother up. Then they both got busted up for millions of years.... Untill eventually there was nothing left...

And here we are.

The calm result of a chaotic evolution of astrological impacts.

It's kinda beautiful, if you think about it.

Do you know if Jupiter gives off any "heat"? Is it possible that Jupiter, though not creating fusion actually can result in a moon that has enough energy within the Jovian system to create a satellite that can result in temperatures that are conducive to life.

That is probably the most laughable peer reviewed article I've ever read!!!

You're not wrong.

While Jupiter keeps the asteroid belt in check, the moon keeps many asteroids that would normally hit us from missing just barely.

In fact, just last month we had a near earth orbit of a pretty large asteriod. The moon's orbit and gravitational pull ensured the asteriod didn't come strait at us.

Carl Sagan and other well loved astrologists have considered that Jupiter is a proto-star.

And then, can you imagine the possibilities!!
