For those always wondering why NASA and the other global space agencies are constantly trying to work in the International Space Station...this is it imo. I have said for years the world's governments are up to something to prevent our total destruction up there because there is a clear emphasis on getting work done ASAP up there.

I realize the odds of this hitting are a little high but one needs to realize what will happen even if it misses the planet slightly. We could lose a lot of communication tools and fry a lot of other objects we have circling the globe and here on land.

to provide the UN with a 'decision process' for assessing and acting on the hazard posed by Apophis and other near-Earth asteroids

But of course! It all makes sense to me now...

Can we steer it so that it hits where we want it to hit? China? Iran? I'm sure this question will come up.

asteroid Apophis, which researchers now say has a 1 in 45,000 chance of hitting Earth on 13 April 2036

Oh, no, not Earth!

That's where I keep all my stuff!

Not to worry. The End of the World is in 2001, anyway!
