We can only hope.

To convert to miles just multiply KM by .61 (I use .6 to make the math easier)- close enough for gubmint work.

18000/2 = 9000 (50%)
18000/10 = 1800 (10%)
= 10,800 miles
;-)

Lord Jesus, PLEASE let it hit Washington DC or London. They make Sodom and Gomorrah look like Catholic schoolgirls.

It’s not even that hard, if you’re willing to wait a few years. Some solar-powered ion engines with a a few pounds of thrust could do it...

Redirect the trajectory of at least one of them towards Afghanistan!

I say Washington DC.

An asteroid won’t care about any human shields.

Understood. I was giving the length of the asteroid. It’s almost a half-mile long.

The one that hit at what is now known as the Yucatan Peninsula that wiped out the dinosaurs was just 6 miles wide.
