The asteroid was small in astronomical terms just a 150 feet (45.7 m) across. Traveling at around 8 miles per second (12.8 kps) the force of the asteroid impact on the ground was tremendous... Meteor Crater is 3900 feet (1200m) across...formed in an explosion estimated to be equal to 10 million tons of TNT. Meteor Crater Arizona Author: James Tobin

Thanks - been there 3 times, quite a sight/site but it was closed when my son and I got there a few years back - still light enough to see up off the road. The rest is on the internet.

I’m not worried about this one even though its astronomically akin to a human hair to earth, the one that comes along and is going to hit us - we won’t hear about it.

Panic, rioting, looting, shooting, rape, robbery, revenge killings, etc.

It’d be sad if only the cockroaches survive. The politicians and rich in their bunkers I mean and the bugs of course.

Just a thought. ;-)
