    Rate Proposed Community Note: This video is from the classic movie Armageddon. NASA has confirmed that Dreadstone’s velocity and rocky composition would render any attempt to deflect or split the asteroid with nuclear or conventional weapons completely ineffective.

    When you watch Deep Impact you think "wow, Neil DeGrasse Tyson must love this" but when you watch Armageddon you think "wow, Neil DeGrasse Tyson must hate this" and that's why Armageddon is the superior film. I'm not even a Bay revisionist for the most part but that's one of the good ones.
