An Asteroid Twice the size of a whole football has a chance to hit Earth Dec. 27th.....?

Question

and lets say it stands only a 50/50 chance......Do you think you would start living any differently after you heard this???...and if so, could you name a couple things ?

Answer 1

i am not worried.if it happens nothing i can do.

Answer 2

Maybe if it was 50/50 to hit my street. Even at speeds way beyond 20,000 mph, it's not enough to do much damage beyond about 200 yards, max (and that's pushing it).

Apocalypse is when the diameter approaches miles in length.

Answer 3

I probably won't do anything differently since it wouldn't affect me unless it landed on my head.

Answer 4

If its twice  the size of a football by the time it goes through our atmosphere most if not all will burn up so nothing to worry about. If in fact you mean a football field that would be a different matter and I for one would not like to be standing anywhere near where it would land.

Answer 5

If it happens it happens, mass hysteria on this subject to me is funny to watch.

Rather than worrying about the cosmos just remember to "Live each day as if it were your last!"

But it's not gonna hit and actually, in 2012 when it passes the earth (which it has done so so many times) it will pass again 2-3 years later. I mean, the odds of this thing hitting us is minimal, you have more chance of Cuba declaring war on the US (sarcasm) than that rock hitting us.

If it happens, it happens, i can't whip out my Glad trash bag and catch the sucker (like the commercial says!) i just want to make every moment on this earth worth while!

Answer 6

A whole football is hardly significant. A whole football-field - that would really be something.

Answer 7

No, I'm going to try to catch it.
