Gemini Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) 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. Edited March 10, 2023 by hornedlizardman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsar4 Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 "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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
