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

Better late than never I guess.

Panic?!

You mean throw a welcome party?

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.

I'm team asteroid.

Panic?

I'm crossing my fingers for the wellbeing of the universe. We're awful.

I’ll only panic if it misses

That's 0.9% more than the last time I checked. I know those are still really low odds, but we can hope...

is there any way to hurry it along?

Jesus is coming back and he's pissed...

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.

that was Trump chances in 2016...

should I mention "don't look up" ?

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

Okay so how big is this meteor then

Wow this is the most depressing comment section I've ever seen.

Is there any way to speed this up

Those are rookie numbers. Gotta pump those numbers up.

If we are able to nudge an asteroid, would an asteroid of this size nudge the earth?
