casmael,

Okay so how big is this meteor then

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.

HorikBrun,

Panic?!

You mean throw a welcome party?

Jesus is coming back and he’s pissed

solsangraal,

i don’t like those odds. anything we can do to bump it up to around 75%-100%?

Floshie,

should I mention “don’t look up” ?

Those are better odds than the lottery. Has anyone set up a betting pool yet?

expatriado,

that was Trump chances in 2016…

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

taiyang,

Aw, you think we’ll still have permafrost by then.

adarza,

is there any way to hurry it along?

MrTrono,

Am I supposed to panic because it’s unlikely to hit? Meanwhile I’m out here wishing for death by meteor.

threelonmusketeers,

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.

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,

Eh, they can launch from Vandenburg if it’s that important. (Or, ya know, Guiana or Baikonur or whatever.)

lordnikon,

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.
