I’ve always said NASA had a lot of nerf.

is “Boompf” a technical term?

And it didn’t burn up after entering our atmosphere……. That’s one tough Nerf ball.

And where is Bleeb in all of this?

How did we do?

Looks like Oregon and Washington took the brunt of it!

Being Nerf would not make it a safe collision.

If the “asteroid” was that big, it would (still) be really disastrous.

I’m sure Bleeb is there somewhere. Just can’t see him.

At a cost of 2.3 trillion dollars

Whoa there NASA! Tell me you did NOT just Nerf Earf!

Based on the last couple years, I am pretty sure we’d fail even that.

Let it hit the San Andreas fault and see if something “shakes” loose.

Shouldn’t that have come from Florida and not space?

And it landed in California and no one could see a difference

You’re not boompfing right, Norton! – Ralph Kramden

The Nerf asteroid would never hit the USA. Twenty million Americans would pull guns and blast it out of the sky.

Relief! I thought it was a giant pickleball! They are everywhere!

Even a Nerf asteroid, at that weight and speed, would have a significant impact…

Ouch gave California one heck of a black eye.

Looks like a pickleball to me. haha!

It’s a wiffle asteroid

We need to get it so it goes BOOF, not BOOMPF. We have work to do!

Not very prepared since it made contact.

Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! :)

Absolutely hilarious! Great one John.

Did you hear in the news that an asteroid pasted by approximately 60,000 mi from earth not to long ago. Did you hear that in the news before it happened?

Wonder what a Nerf that size weighs?

“Seven ball in the left pocket.”

The Democrats just lost quite a few Electoral College votes.

Hey, testing to be safe … What could go wrong? … ;)
