I'm not praying FOR it to hit a certain city. But I'm not praying for it to not NOT hit that city either.

Thanks to that hot air cult, $$$ have been squandered on meaningless ‘climate protection’ instead of asteroid defenses.

Yes but not Detroit, please. I live about 100 feet from 8 Mile Road. Besides, some of my homeboy friends are actually good conservatives.

If it does hit there is a 72% chance it will impact an ocean. I would not want to be near the shoreline if that happens. This is a good opportunity to attempt an asteroid deflection

“An asteroid big enough to destroy a city has a 1.9% chance of impacting Earth on December 22, 2032.”

And about 3% of the surface of the Earth is occupied by cities. So what are the odds?

Look at it from the upside. It has a 98% chance of missing us.

If it does strike us, we deserve it.

Well, that’s just great. I just heard from my bomb shelter guys. Due to production and labor delays, they won’t be able to work on my shelter until early in 2033.
