Don’t panic, but an asteroid has a 1.9% chance of hitting Earth in 2032 angielski
Cform, angielski
parpol, To people having panic attacks, it is not large enough to destroy the earth, and we would have plenty of time to evacuate the impact location. Though let’s hope it isn’t anywhere with permafrost.
Jimmycakes, You mean populate the impact zone because I’m going to watch

SARGE, angielski 
Yeah, my dogs will be gone by then so I would absolutely set up a tent close enough to catch it. I’d even bring a baseball glove for shits and giggles.
taiyang, Aw, you think we’ll still have permafrost by then.
photonic_sorcerer, angielski 
It’ll be an equatorial impact.
vga, Can we launch a satellite at it, perhaps detonate a huge nuke on it to make that chance higher?
Wait, we could just detonate all those huge nukes here right now. Show that stupid asteroid.
rickyrigatoni, Nuke the far side of the moon and plunge it into earth. Give the asteroid inadequacy issues.
SARGE, angielski 
Project Sundial can still make a comeback.
casmael, Okay so how big is this meteor then
everett, Exactly one meteor wide. Do you need the height as well?
Norgoroth, 
130 - 400 meters
Coreidan, angielski I’ll only panic if it misses
Idea,
solsangraal, angielski i don’t like those odds. anything we can do to bump it up to around 75%-100%?
Chakravanti, angielski Sync Earth’s magnetic union of it’s core a bit finer and it will do exactly that.

MrTrono, Am I supposed to panic because it’s unlikely to hit? Meanwhile I’m out here wishing for death by meteor.
threelonmusketeers, angielski Just in case this comment is not a joke, here’s the WHO page on suicide prevention.
Either way, there are a few billion other people on this planet who would rather not die by meteor, thank you very much.
PhobosAnomaly, I mean, if I was going to go out, then getting my shit mixed by a meteor is pretty awesome. I’m sure I’ll make it on to a few Buzzfeed articles over the next ten or twenty years.
All things considered though, it would indeed be nice if it landed somewhere inconsequential like the ocean; the desert; or Florida.
threelonmusketeers, (edited ) angielski Florida
You jest, but the Kennedy Space Center is in Florida. Putting the world’s busiest spaceport out of commission might put a damper on future asteroid deflection missions…
grue, angielski Eh, they can launch from Vandenburg if it’s that important. (Or, ya know, Guiana or Baikonur or whatever.)
lordnikon, angielski Not to be a doomer but most of us will be dead by then I just hope the meteor takes out any lucky oligarchs still alive in a bunker.
LouNeko, Yeah I’ll take one for the team. I go to the point of impact and when it finaly hits, I’m gonna try to punch it back into orbit.
You don’t have to thank me.
HorikBrun, angielski Panic?!
You mean throw a welcome party?
chemical_cutthroat, 
Jesus is coming back and he’s pissed…
Floshie, should I mention “don’t look up” ?
TheObviousSolution, angielski 
Those are better odds than the lottery. Has anyone set up a betting pool yet?
expatriado, that was Trump chances in 2016…
adarza, angielski is there any way to hurry it along?
