Nah, it would not help if we were hit by a truly "big one".

Besides Evangeline the Cow likes being out in the sun.

At some point we do need to spread out if we want to survive as a species.

I ‘spread out’ last year from 2 acres to 160 acres. :)

I had to leave behind a perfect bunker and my machine gun turret, but I can always re-build those things out here. ;)

(I’m only half-joking.)

Over the next few thousand years, it will come perilously close to Earth.

Gee I thought the global nutbags predicted the sun to explode into a supernova before that.

Supernova in a few thousand years? Uhm, no one is suggesting that. Try again.

Climate change, earthquakes, floods, super volcanoes, meteors, asteroids, comets, all in no particular order are the OMG’s of the month that are brought out to fear monger the gullible.

Some people just have to take the fun out of everything. Anyway, I’ve got my official solar glasses and a bottle of SPF 4000 so I’m good to go.

I was beginning to panic, but you provided a voice of reason. TY

I bet the dinosaurs really enjoyed the Perseid meteor shower every year until.... SMACK!
A small fragment hit the earth.
The insectoids recall how humans enjoyed the Perseid meteor shower then SMACK!
A small fragment hit the earth.
