The asteroid has an irregular shape, but we've calculated its length from end-to-end to be approximately 137 kilometers.
I've seen this movie. It hits Paris.
“Fail Safe” · Season 5, Episode 17
In this episode: Jack O'Neill (8), Samantha Carter (6), Daniel Jackson (4), Teal'c (2), George Hammond (1), Freyr (1)
And when Earth gets hit by that rock and we're all wiped out, that's gonna be unfortunate too?
Very.
[Cut to briefing room; Hammond and SG1 are sitting around the table.]
... and after that I kinda lost my temper.
GHGen. Hammond
What exactly does that mean?
Let's just say Jack made a reference to Freyr's mother.
Ah, they'll fix it up.
I'm confident.
Me too.
As am I.
We're about ready to attempt an engine start, sir.
Yeah fine. Assume there isn't one what?
Recall device.
The X301? That was you guys?
WWebber
You have to admit it performed beautifully right up until the point you and Teal'c were sent into deep space.
Yeah!
Well I'm just slightly concerned that if we push them too hard, and they burn out before we reach escape velocity that… we'll come crashing back to the planet.
I'm confident.
Me too.
As am I.
Oh come on! We came, we saw, we planted a bomb, we had a little fun with a meteor shower, we went home. It's a great story! Isn't it?
So, what happens when that bomb goes off?
Well, the explosion will be enhanced by the naqahdah, probably to the force of a small nova. This close to Earth, it would be enough to set the atmosphere on fire and boil the oceans.
Okay, this was not in the movie.
[After discovering that every wire in their nuclear bomb is yellow, when they were expecting the one wire they need to defuse to be red]
You know, I'd like to take this opportunity to say that this is a very poorly designed bomb, and I think we should say something to somebody about it when we get back.
I agree sir.
If it comes right down to it, we can detonate it right here. What's our position?
Well, personally I'm against it. If you want to know where the ship is....
[The asteroid is speeding towards Earth]
Col. O'Neill [urging Maj. Carter]: Carter, I can see my house!
