Earlier, space scientist Natalie Starkey had suggested that a pre-emptive nuclear strike is a perfect way by which planet Earth can be protected

Sixth Mass Extinction: Surreal as it may seem, we have clearly embarked on the path to self-annihilation. Indeed, several recently published scientific studies warn that the Sixth Mass Extinction is already underway. Lest we forget, our ancestors – Neanderthals, Denisovans, Homo erectus – became extinct, leaving just their descendants, the Homo sapiens, to follow them. The

Scientists from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have warned that Earth could be at a greater risk from an asteroid collision than earlier believed. The bleak warning came [...]
