1. Don't be fooled. It's a billiards game.

First the moon, and then the earth in the center pocket.

17. Like in The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

"Oh, I've heard of worse," said Ford, "I read of one planet off in the seventh dimension that got used as a ball in a game of intergalactic bar billiards. Got potted straight into a black hole. Killed ten billion people."

"That's mad," said Mella.

"Yes, only scored thirty points too."

3. The concern now is that massive amounts of debris from

the moon could be hurled towards the earth. It would all burn up in the atmosphere and make for an amazing meteor shower, but it could also destroy satellites and create a cascading effect that destroys global communication and GPS.

Hmmm

5. Oh he'll never return no he'll never return and his fate is still unlearned

8. I wonder what a near miss of the Moon would do to the asteroid's orbit?

"Slingshot" flybys are quite weird.

[Disaffected]

9. A good point

because the aftermath of a near miss would be impossible to model i.e. predict in advance as it would be critically dependent on how close the miss actually was (akin to the "three-body" problem).

14. Probably diverted itself to avoid Leon's exploding rocket.

15. Thanks for the update

Every so often I remember to check the status of this asteroid although by the time it hits I'll be nearly 80 and won't be able to get out of it's way. Bummer.
