I suppose that it could just graze the Earth and speed on, but it would cause huge amounts of damage even at that...................

As to when it can strike Earth, experts predict that RQ36 may strike the planet in the last quarter of the 22nd century, which is still decades away. Experts predict that it may happen around the years 2175 or 2196.

If we don’t have an extremely detailed and intricate solar system infrastructure by that time, then we won’t deserve to live.
If we do have an extremely detailed and intricate solar system infrastructure, this will just be more grist for the solar system mining industry and will be welcomed as a gift from the stars.

such as grazing the atmosphere, would that not start some serious fires along the course track? I don’t know how such things work.

It would cause huge fires in its wake, along with a huge pressure wave................

If the cockroaches could survive an all out nuclear war why do they think they would not survive global warming? Inquiring minds want to know. LOL

yikes! Question: Would that pressure wave cause some sort of tsunami when it passed over the ocean? Wind drives waves after all.

At the next Greta Thunberg Press Conference and Worship Session, someone should tell her that regardless of what she does now, in a 150 years it will all be destroyed anyways...............

This asteroid measures about 1,640 feet in diameter, which is equal to the size of the Empire State Building in New York. I had no idea the Empire State Building was 1640 feet in diameter.

WOW! That is about as accurate and the climate change alarmists' predictions.
Note to self: Load up on supplies ahead of the rush.
