Even if that .1% chance happened, couldn't we just nuke it?
You can blow it up super far away from earth. Or did everyone forget that?Even if that .1% chance happened, couldn't we just nuke it?
Causing billions of meteorites to rain all over earth and cause widespread damage? I don't think so.
Also, it's more like 1 in 60,000 chance that it'll actually hit earth. There's a better chance of this asteroid striking earth than you winning basically any lottery.

There already is better solutions. If within 10 years or 18 years we know for a fact if it will hit or not NASA will send it of course, and not explode it. Is actually not that hard. Theres videos on this. It's all been done before. easy peasy.You can blow it up super far away from earth. Or did everyone forget that?Even if that .1% chance happened, couldn't we just nuke it?

What would you suggest?
America wastes another several billion dollars to send a nuke into space, towards an asteroid that could potentially shift its course at any time due to a number of things. That also has a almost .5% chance of hitting us in 19 years.
It's a waste of money and a bad idea in general.
If it's going to hit us, it'll hit us, maybe it won't be one big one anymore, it'll just be thousands/hundreds of smaller ones capable of hitting a much larger area.
Unless someone manages to come up a better solution in the next 19 years, there's no proper way to stop an asteroid especially one of that size.
This is another bullshit doomsday story. It's will be the same as y2k and 2012 after it doesn't happen there will be a new doomsday story for people to worry about.

Isn't this our 7th apocalypse prediction in the last 15 years?
I am saying we threaten the Meteor with nuclear warfare till we know it will miss or not and if it would hit we nuke it in such a way that it either doesn't exist or goes off course.You can blow it up super far away from earth.

It would only take an asteroid the size of an american football field to destroy the ecosystem.How big was the meteor in russia?
"1.5-metre-long (five-foot-long) rock from the lake"It would only take an asteroid the size of an american football field to destroy the ecosystem.How big was the meteor in russia?
"1.5-metre-long (five-foot-long) rock from the lake"What was the estimated initial size before it went into the atmo burn?
Not big.

Not big.
Guess nobody really agrees with my point on not caring (well, not a point, really), and just living life regularly for those nineteen years. There's no point worrying if it's bound to hit or not, because if chances are that it does hit, either we'll find a way to stop it, or it will be instantaneous, and most definitely non-painful.
