Because the asteroids we need to “worry” about are a LOT closer. The problem with asteroids is that some are dark, and some come at us from angles near the sun. Both makes it especially tough to pick ‘em up on approach.

That would be inside the orbit of the International Space Station (262 miles).

Yawn...
It was just a Friday the 13th warning about the real Friday the 13th in 2029...
Two things we, as a Nation, have ignored since 2004 were:
- U.S. communists switching to "full speed ahead" with their planned conquest; and,
- Apophis...
Both are about to cause the deaths of millions of Americans...
A potent one-two punch...

Asteroid A10sHcN?
I liked it better when they named them after Greek and Roman goddesses, like Pallas or Juno.

I like Antonio Zamora he is great. I believe the younger Dryas was a massive solar flare or micro-nova of our sun. The black mat over north america can’t be accounted for by a large Saginaw Michigan Impact.

The asteroid- 2020 VT4 is estimated to be 5-10 meters (16-32 feet) across, about the size of a small house.

The impact energy depends on mass (composition and size) and relative speed (momentum).
