Armageddon The Movie - Would You Do It?

[Tsyal Makto]

This debate should make more sense to people who have seen Armageddon. I placed it here because it is more of a debate about the concept than about the movie itself.

Imagine that astronomers discovered a massive asteroid heading toward Earth. The only option is to send a crew up to it, plant a nuclear weapon, and blow it apart. If NASA approached you to be on one of the shuttles being sent to it, would you do it? There are others available to take your place, but they came to you first. If you said no, they could sub you with one of their guys. If you said yes, there is a significant chance that you could die in the process. What would you say?

I would go. I have no fear of death, because my personal belief is that there is something good waiting for me on the other side. Plus, one of my greatest dreams is to walk on another celestial body. It is the greatest adventure I could ever imagine. I'd even volunteer to take Harry's place as the one who stayed behind to detonate it manually.
