I read somewhere that we get a major hit about once every 10,000 years (on average) and that is has been almost 13,000 since the last major one
All these recent hits have me a bit worried- we could be going through a ‘patch’ of space that has a bunch- we DID just cross the galactic plane, after all.
Don’t you watch the doomsday movies. We are fortunate to have Bruce Willis on hand to go up in space and destroy any nasty asteroid that bothers us.
Well, Bruce is getting a little up in years, but Mark Wahlberg is almost ubiquitous in the movies these days so we should be in good hands. Give him a giant laser sniper rifle and a space station to fire from and we’re good.
