And according to Obama, if an asteroid was heading to Earth, the Republicans would say the solution is tax cuts.

Just like global warming.

Yeah, a risk in 4.5 million years maybe.

From the article:

One of them, 2022 AP7, is roughly a mile long, and its orbit crosses Earth’s path around the sun, getting as near as 4.4 million miles to Earth itself — uncomfortably close by cosmic standards (although far more distant than Earth’s moon). That makes 2022 AP7 “the largest potentially hazardous asteroid found in the last eight years or so,” said Scott Sheppard, an astronomer at the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, D.C., and an author of the study.


It will pass by the Earth 18 times further than the moon so no doom... this time.

But they claim it will be effected by the Earth’s gravity and will have a different path the next time around. Something for the grand kids to worry about.

Satan and his minions know Wormwood is coming and desperate to circumvent God’s judgment.

If I recall my 1960's sci-fi, there's a duplicate Earth on the other side of the sun

Biden is a far bigger threat and he’s already here (physically anyway).

Ya, It’s one that we need to keep an eye on going forward, and should dedicate some resources to keeping plots of its orbit accurate over time. There are a bunch of these really, and it’s one of the few actual legitimate tasks that government could take on, that’s not specifically called out in Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution.

It might be worth the time to start thinking long-term about such things, because if you take action early enough you can actually do some good.
