The largest asteroid to pass by Earth this year will approach within some 1.25 million miles (two million kilometers) of our planet on March 21, NASA said Thursday.

The US space agency said it will allow astronomers to get a rare close look at an asteroid.

The asteroid, 2001 FO32, is estimated to be about 3,000 feet in diameter and was discovered 20 years ago, NASA said.

1. Musk should catch a ride on it.

2. Honestly, a year ago, I would have prayed for it to hit us.

I am feeling a little bit better about the fate of the human race these days. But then I remember that people like Marjorie Taylor Green are being taken seriously as government leaders, and I start despairing again.

3. Go ahead

Hit us. End this reality show already

[speak easy]

8. Hit us. Kill off the animals,

the life in the seas, the air, the forests ? No thanks.

Life will go on long after we are gone. We don't need an asteroid.

Wonder what side of the earth it is passing on, right or left?

10. NASA found two huge impact craters under Greenland ice, in 2018 and 2019.

It's possible they are tied to the Younger Dryas ice age recurrence, and the extinction of large land animals around the planet, 12,800 years ago. May also have wiped out Clovis Culture in North America.

9. Sure seems to be a lot of that going on lately.

Last week I saw, like at 4am, a strange, illuminated streak in the sky. It was as bright as a sundog only in the night sky. It was visible for several minutes, long enough for me to throw on some clothes and step outside to get a better look at it. I suspect it was some object falling to Earth or whizzing very closely past.
