Mars, being at such a close location, would pull Earth from it’s orbit enough to destroy mankind. The fools who believe this, if anything, should be terrified out of their pants. Whomever started this rumour go jump off a cliff into shark infested waters. Don’t forget to strap yourself to fresh dead fish!

I would think that IF Mars were to appear to us Earthings as large as the full moon, we’d be in deep doo-doo. It would mean Mars would have jumped its orbit and a rogue planet might be barrelling toward us. I imagine the gravitational effects here on the Home Planet might be nearly cataclysmic.

I can’t believe I got sucked into this. I’m usually the guy in my circle of friends that tells them that what they just sent me is BS. For some reason I didn’t bother to check this out, though in the back of my mind I was wondering how much larger Mars was than the Moon. Duh!!!

Oh the sad day for a science teacher when one of her students came up to share this little “gem”, and what glee he had for going home and telling his mum she was wrong.
