well, to be fair; if the moon’s orbit around the earth is altered——— you have no idea who it will hurt.

96% chance that it WON’T hit the Moon. I like those odds….at least for now.

I don’t think an asteroid like that would measurably alter the Moon’s orbit, even with the fine measuring techniques we have today. IMO, the greater danger would be random debris thrown up from the impact, some possibly impacting Earth.

The Moon’s orbit is not going to be altered by an asteroid 60 meters in diameter. It’s like saying a man is gonna be knocked over by flea landing on his head. Study up on Newtonian physics karen.
