Way to close. This thing is about 35 meters in diameter and would wreak havoc on any major city it happened to hit.

I do not mean to belittle your concern, or you or others interested in these phenomena.

However, in reality there is not much we can do about one of these things. To be frank, and somewhat fatalistic, if it is going to hit, it is going to hit. I feel one has to prioritize their concerns. If I can't even remotely affect the outcome, then why worry about it.

However, I can, on a very limited basis, affect the outcome of politics. John Kerry being elected would be, in my opinion, every bit as devastating as an asteroid wiping out CONUS. So, I will focus my attention on diverting asteroid Kerry from impacting on the USA.

Yeah, it wouldn't go over too well in a minor city, either!

City?

Try country or continent!

They discovered it monday night, not much time to evacuate a whole major city. I expect that the politicians would want to sit on it for a day or two, to figure out what they are going to do, but if it was targeted towards a major city, I'm sure it would leak out to the media and civilians.
