I would be glib, but I have progeny. Time to strap a nuke to Elon Musk and launch him towards it!

Bruce Willis will save the day again! Oh, wait….

Too soon? >_>

I heard about this. The asteroid is the size of an Olympic-size swimming pool. So that's 50 meters in diameter. Plus, it's pretty unlikely it even collides with Earth, like a 1 in 400 chance according to the astonomer mentioned in the story.

There's nothing to worry about. Now if there's a Texas-sized asteroid like in Armageddon, on the other hand, we're fucked.

Two problems gone at once.

That damn stunt Tesla is still circling the planet...maybe if we push it towards the asteroid the collision and subsequent rock-melting explosion will do something.

"2023 DW (Death Wish) has a Torino Scale ranking of 1."

So it means it's like being hit by a single 2023 Ford Torino.
