Near zero? Then why mention it.

Oooooh, I hope it doesn’t land in a crater...

A crater would be a dangerous place to take cover.

Covid mortality is similarly near zero, isn’t it?

There was a Non Zero years ago followed on FR.
Was schedule to hit in Africa and there was a notification to airline pilots to watch for it and report sightings.
Such was done, noting the impact area (Sudan?).
A university crew hot shot to the area and pretty much pick up every piece in the debris field in a few days (barren desert)

Because it would cost multiple trillions / zillions to go get it. Lol
Maybe it’s got some rare mineral in it.

Well maybe we could tag it like we do to wolves or whales or whatever... That would be really cool, and track it.

It's only 2 meters across I think, if it bumps a space pebble it could change orbit. Not much of a threat to us surface-dwellers anyway.

I bet if we gave him enough money Elon could put together a mission to deflect it just enough for the Earth’s atmosphere to do aerobraking on it and it would crash land somewhere reasonably close to intact.
To: SunkenCiv
Maybe it'll be the one we don't see coming....

Nope - good way to say they don’t expect it to hit but there’s an itty-bitty chance so it doesn’t get to zero.
