Hopefully in one particular spot.
Joking aside, if there is going to be a lots of debris hitting us, I wonder how much warning we'll get.
Also if it does hit the moon, what are the chances of mankind realising once and for all that we are on a small fragile rock zipping through space and we'd be better off taking care of it instead of petty bickering about what toilets people are using?
I won't hold my breath.
If we know that the world is coming to turn to ash within a month, year or so, it’s going to be pure chaos all the way till the very end. Hopefully we can push those asteroids away long before they even come close.
