150 Foot Asteroid Approaching Earth – What Other 150 Foot Objects Would be Cooler? [Poll]

In the next few days, a 150-foot asteroid is going to get a little too-close-for-comfort with the Earth. It's trajectory will bring it closer to our planet than the orbit of some high-flying man-made satellites. While a 150-foot asteroid is pretty cool, what other objects of that size would be even cooler to have fly by our planet. Let's compare and contrast with our online survey.

Let's start with the obvious and appease the sports fans out there. Half of a football field equals 150 feet. Would you like to see half a football field come dangerously close to our planet?

The submarine USS Gato is 144 feet tall, just shy of 150 feet.

150 feet is double the wingspan of the space shuttle.

150 feet is double the distance KEKB's Britton Crone was able to run before getting busted by the cops during the Running of the Bulls in Spain.

Here's a horrifying thought which will really put things in perspective. 150 is the combined length of 11 AMC Gremlins laid end to end. It would 11.19 to be exact. How would you like to have 11.19 AMC Gremlins land in your back yard? For the record, I have a neighbor with roughly that same number of piece-of-crap cars parked in his yard, and let me tell you, it's pretty irritating.

How about 21 Wilt Chamberlains?
