Put me firmly in the category of:
I don’t care, whatsoever.
So there’s no reason to worry about all that climate change nonsense.
I, for one, plan on being out of town that day.
in that time frame we should be able to nudge any problematic asteroids out of the way as needed. That is ... if our government has any resources left to work on such matters.
Can we get it to hurry up?
Maybe hit tomorrow?
Not to worry, according to the left we only have something like 10 years left anyway. I think we’ve passed the “tipping point” at least a dozen times now, so I’m sure we’re doomed long before the asteroid gets its shot at us.
160 years? That is way too late to save us.
I don’t have anything scheduled for that day. I don’t believe it will be a problem for me or any my next generations, if I had any.
It is like the fools in the state house wanting bounties on big foot and moratoriums on abortions while the state is falling apart with the scrotus indian ruling. I asked our little rep: “Don’t you dopes have anything more important to work on?”
I won’t hold my breath
Bennu is a primitive carbonaceous asteroid

That’s the line to pay attention to: it means that, unlike a lot of asteroids, it is dark/black in color. Little light is reflected. In fact, the so-called Dino Killer is also believed to have been of the same type.
Spotting any asteroid is difficult, but spotting one from the outer rim of the asteroid belt that is cinder black is nearly impossible. Worse, if such an object comes from sun-ward, giving little or no warning of its existence or approach.
Its the one’s you can’t see that are the most potentially dangerous.
