    ok yikes! think of the damage that could cause! how do we use our current state of the art technology and understanding of orbital mechanics and rocketry and all that to ensure that under NO circumstances does this asteroid miss us

  2. There’s also a very tiny chance of the Earth hitting the sun, any given day.

    Of course it would require the earth suddenly accelerate directly toward the sun, or visa versa, but it’s still a chance

  3. This sub used to be filled with legit comments which added to the post. Now its just jokes and memes. gross.

  4. Why wouldn’t we direct that one away from the Earth then by intentionally hitting it with some propelled precise not-stone and not taking a chance?

  5. Hopefully, my weather man isn’t the person who made this prediction. Otherwise, it’s pretty much guaranteed to hit us.

    So I’m the only one that’s like, thank goodness, this hellscape can be over?
