It’s coming at 66 miles per second, the speed of light is over 186,000 mps and it is about 2 million light years away. We’ve got a while. I’m more worried about what the Dems have up their sleeves.

“..it is about 2 million light years away. We’ve got a while.”

It’s amazing how short our lives are, in the context of the cosmos. I read Andromeda is ~2.5 million light years away, which comes out to something like 23,652,000,000,000,000,000 kilometers (or 14,696,671,438,797,422,592 miles). If I haven’t screwed up a decimal somewhere that gives us ~ 6,818,131,711 years (wonder if the Mueller investigation will be done?).
