Some day, we'll get lucky but then...
I remember the heady days in 2004, when it was discovered, and the brief time it became (for a few days) the first actual impact threat, on both those scales. Prediscovery images were found in the archives which gave a longer data set, and poof! The threat vanished. The 2036 passing will be way off, because the 2029 "keyhole" will be missed. Oh well, there goes the excitement.
