"1-in-600 chance of colliding with Earth, NASA says"

What are the chances of the asteroid hitting Washington, DC, before November, 2024?!?

Everyone needs to live in fear always and forever!!!!!!!

That is pretty much the point of this article.

Reminds me of David letterman and his “hailstones the size of canned hams” comment.

A couple of those babies has our number on it.

Then the second angel sounded: And something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood. And a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

Then the third angel sounded: And a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the water, because it was made bitter.

The one that exploded over russia in 2013 was half this size and packed a pretty good punch.

Sleeping together before marriage has greater odds of divorce, but nobody cares. So who cares here. God has the whole world in his hands, we have our souls in ours.

So we have 23 years to figure out how we can nuke it off its path, should be more than enough time.

I say we land a little tiny spaceship on it. Drill a hole, drop a nuke into it, and blow the summbitch up

the asteroid dubbed 2023 DW

Surely it will make a huge ka-boom!

Oh no. We’re all gonna die!!

50 meter diameter.

That's the size that caused this:

I for one welcome our new asteroid overlords.

Hit DC. Please. Hit. DC.

2046- I don’t expect to be around to see it hit or miss. But it is a good subject for testing a deflection attempt. Changing its orbit by fractions of a degree in the right direction would make it miss by tens of thousands or even millions of miles. A remotely controlled lander equipped with a small rocket motor should do the trick, nudging it into a safe trajectory.

If I live to see it, I’ll be 102...
