Hopefully it won’t send the moon out of our orbit.
See, me and that man up there have history.

[sit-rep]

the moon gets knocked out of orbit just a smidge, its gonna play hell on our ocean’s tides...

[Openurmind]

Great... So instead of a bullet we will get a secondary shotgun blast from the Moon. Has anyone though about how much physical influence the Moon has on the Earth? If it is slowed down or knocked even slightly off from normal orbit it would have drastic secondary residual effects on us too.

...[T]he results suggest that the asteroid “continues to have a non-zero probability of impacting the Moon at this time,” the researchers concluded.

Now that would be awesome video! I'm sure someone knows the probability if the impact would be in sun or shade. Getting a profile shot of the dust cloud would be amazing. Do we have instruments there to detect tremors?

Rover's Fault?

it has nearly a 0% chance of hitting Earth during its upcoming flyby

Reminds me of those memes that say things like "Your odds of being killed by a hamster are low but never zero".

moon for the block

way to go moon

The Moon has likely endured thousands of asteroid impacts during its 4.5-billion-year history,

Ya think?

"True, by inspection."

The potential Moon impact would allow scientists the rare opportunity to observe a lunar crater being formed right before their eyes

Zehr cool if it happens.

Has anyone warned Alice?

If it hits the moon hard enough, that’s the end for Earth.

Ooh, more tektites! Cool. Watch for the asteroid show, it will be glorious.

“...but Our Moon Might Take the Hit...”

Then, we are not safe

[LimitedPowers]

Oh, no! This could wipe out the Moon dinosaurs!

[AppyPappy]

That’s it. I’m buying JW Black from now on.
