They are smart. Years ago, out here in The Boonies, a woman did an animal rescue of a crow chick, turned it into her pet, taught it to talk -- very good talker.

Couldn’t we just put up a sign saying ‘Earth is an asteroid-free zone’?

That seems to work well.

On law-abiding asteroids, I mean.

Per ardua, ad terra?

We spend so much time per ardua ad astra.

As we age , the good earth between the toes has its time.

This one should be a practice target to test our response to the one that WILL hit if not redirected. A small rocket motor on a little lander; see how much of a nudge is needed so we get it right when it is necessary.

Is it possible it could be this asteroid collision map?? I'm pretty sure its what your talking about. Yeah, its a quite cool little thing to play around with. Bit scary at the same time to know that if an asteroid hit near your area, you'd perish. They've also got this cool asteroid collision location map where you can view existing asteroid collisions near the 20th century and stuff. anyways hope i helped :)

I'm pretty sure I found it not too long ago. I think its called asteroid collision map. They've also got something called asteroid collision location map where you can view existing asteroid collisions near our time.. Let me know if I found the thing u were talking about? I'm sure there are a few variations of these things on the internet..

Admit it. We all think an asteroid strike would be cool to see, as long as it’s not too close.

As long as it has a tail, you will be ok.

If it just gets bigger and bigger, and not moving, bend over and prepare for that last smooch.

90 minutes to say, “It’s gonna hit us?”

That seems a bit verbose.

“90 minutes...”

Still shorter than many a political debate or speech.
