Seriously, “Space rocks of this size are not considered hazardous.”
Okay Fine. The next time one of these “small” rocks just happens to hit the ISS, I’ll be the first to say, “It’s only a scratch. It only chipped the paint.”

Doesn’t seem that big. It could have caused a house a good bit of damage...could have destroyed a car.

FTA:
"...Space rocks of this size are not considered hazardous..."
Like hell it's not hazardous. Can you imagine if a few-meter wide rock were to strike the Space Station? That's "game over" for the craft and anybody on it. And it was at the right altitude to do it.

One to three meters in diameter and it counts as an asteroid. They’re not making them like Ceres any more.
To: Red Badger
Grok: A 3-meter asteroid hitting Earth would release approximately 5.31 × 10¹² Joules, equivalent to ~1.27 kilotons of TNT [equivalent to a small nuclear weapon]. Much of this energy may dissipate in the atmosphere, limiting surface damage to a small area if it reaches the ground.
yeah, small, harmless ...

Good thing the 2/3 of the Earth’s surface is ocean. A 3m rock will most likely make a big splash and that’s it. A few smaller ones have probably splashed somewhere in the time it took to write this.

A 3 meter projectile, traveling at a couple of miles per second could do massive damage to a small area.

Gee, like that’s never happened before? 3-6 ft across? Sure it could have done some damage but not the end of the world. Most, if not all of it would have burned up on entry anyway.
