They built it specifically in the middle of nowhere expecting meteors to want to visit somewhere with a better night life, and they still almost got hit. Proves none of us are really safe from these assteroids
Fun fact: A man bought the crater around 1900 because he believed it was from an asteroid and thought he could mine it for great profit. Many scientists at the time thought it was volcanic. While he was right about the meteor, he underestimated the energy from the impact which vaporized the meteor. He mined and mined but never found it. His family still owns the site to this day.
Are people simply rediscovering this from the fact it was specifically used in the 1984 movie, "Starman"? Both, the meteor crater and the visitor center. Tsk-tsk.
The year 1984 is when the movie Starman was released. Every damned body knows about the book (and movie) 1984 - which is NOT what was being referenced when talking about the movie "Starman".
This guy is talking about the movie "Starman" from 1984, nothing to do with the book ofnthe same name.
Idk how people supposedly redd the whole book but lack the simple literacy to gasp what the guy who started writing about Starman was tslking about, yet insist on being right
Ok this one actually got me 9/10
Phew, that was close!
Why would they put a visitor's center in the middle of nowhere? Don't they realize the danger of getting hit by a meteor way out there??

Are they idiots? Build it in a better spot!
Best place to watch meteor showers. They have the monopoly on IMAX 4D ScreenX shows, apparently. Tickets are expensive, but incredibly worth it!
That can’t be a coincidence. I bet the crater was made to attract attention to the visitor center.
Marketing genius!
The genius used to exist at the center of that crater.
The mad lad did what needed to be done!
Yep, that checks out!
Been through something similar. They say you never forget your first meteor. I did, though. That’s how I survived.

Everything reminds me of her
I've been there! It's wild
/ul I nearly fell off one of the walk ways just over the crater when I went here 10 years ago
I have been there before and they make the same joke themselves XD

1984 is a book, not a movie

That's not in the book. The main character's name is "Winston", not "Starman"
Bro 🤣
Are u guys trolling or something?

Yes, they're trolling. This is still a shitpost subreddit.
