We could easily nudge it into a safe orbit, but the left would probably object to interfering with nature.

Apophis? I thought SG-1 killed that guy.

I'll be dead, my kids don't care and my grand children have no clue.
I'm sure the orbit of this thing started a few million years ago, so 50 years of ANYTHING human will be of no effect.
Eat, drink and be merry.

I’ll be 116 - a man ain’t supposed to know his death date in advance...

From Continuum...
Ba’al:
Apophis. Last of the System Lords to stand against me. What have you to say to your new sovereign?
Apophis:
May your reign last days, and your death, years.
Ba’al:
That’s actually rather good, isn’t it? Did you plan to say that when you walked in? [Ba’al cuts off the top of Apophis’ head] Or was it just off the top of your head?

President Baron Trump will know what to do with it.

I’ll only be 118. We should all get together for one big last party. Be sure to wear your mask and we have to stay 23 ft apart by then.
To: MtnClimber
I’d be 115 by then so I guess I’m OK

——the path otherwise chosen by gravity———
Gravity is the law, not a choice.
The orbit is imposed by various masses in space

So why are we talking about green new deals and global warming? Don’t you think we should wait before spending trillions of dollars? Everything could be green and perfect and then BAM...an asteroid hits it. Bummer!
To: MtnClimber
I’ll be 116, alive or more likely, dead. Either way it’s unlikely I’ll care much.

That was Apollo. Get your pantheons straight.
And Kirk didn’t kill him. He sort of committed suicide
