I hear that the president’s son is in charge of this situation, so we should be fine.

... But don’t worry, this month’s visit is going to have a very safe clearance, with the asteroid zipping by at a distance of 1.93 million kilometers (~1.2 million miles) away
—
Distance to Moon: 250,000 miles. Unless an astroid is inside the orbital distance of the Moon, it’s not really ‘close’.

"...it's roughly two and a half times the height of the Empire State Building..." How do they know where the top is? It might just be really wide.

It tumbles................

If we are lucky it will hit us and it will all be over.

Could this be the way to rid ourselves of the America-hating DC?

Glad it wasn’t Mega Maid - it would try and suck out all our oxygen!

So it’s only taller than the Empire State Building part of the time.

Sometimes I wish one of these would just hit us.

Do you know the present radius of the swamp? It’s going to take a bigger asteroid than that.
To: Red Badger
2.5 x Empire State Building? Wouldn’t a closer comparison be the Burj Khalifah?

It could slam into Oakland and double the net worth of the place.
