Okay, it's a long shot asteroid. But I mean, the general odds for ANY asteroid hitting the earth are less than a million to one!!! An asteroid will hit this earth before you win the lottery, folks. :(

Heres my question: Do you think in the event of an asteroid headed straight for us, the powers that be in this world will be able to suck it up enough to work together to build a reliable defense.

This asteroid, 1/10 the size of the one that killed the dinosaurs, has the power of 20 million nuclear bombs.

Maybe I am paranoid. Everyone has to go sometime. This race will have to go sometime, I imagine. But I DO NOT want to be killed because a huge rock smashed into it.

I imagined something like that would have all sorts of reprecussions, possibly throwing off the orbit of the earth?
