When I was a kid I thought that any asteroid hitting Earth was bad. Now I gotta ask "where is it going to impact" first.
Also how big is it...
How fast is it going
How far away will it end up passing by us?
Will it return…
If it hasn't called me back in a week are we still on for the date?
Is it made of beans?
Hopefully my house
Asteroid impacts are a bit disturbingly common. It was only 8 years ago that one about twice as powerful as the nukes used on Japan hit earth. Smaller but still over a kiloton have hit in the last two years.
A meteorite flashed into my backyard in Ohio. It was pretty cool!
That was just last week right? I have a buddy in Cleveland who heard the sound of it breaking the sound barrier around 9am.
