I’ve been browsing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be much more useful than ever before.

But procrastination is our specialty! Human-caused climate change has 99% of climatologists (100% of those unfunded by energy conglomerates) saying it IS happening, and we’re doing precious little about that. Do you honestly think the politicians are worrying about 20 years down the road, let alone 170?!

There is onl;y a 1 in 1000 chance it will hit earth, btw. And while that’s more than Apophis, it’s still pretty small.

The chances are excellent that if a group of humans actually tries to mitigate the asteroid problem they’ll actually end up causing it to hit Earth instead. Humans just seem to have that knack.

The asteroid looks to be the target for a mission proposal NASA is considering (OSIRIS) so it could be someone generating buzz to help sell a mission.

Humans will be able to deal with it by then, if they have not stripped all the resources and ruined the planet with pollution, 30 billion people and oceans filled with trash, in which case, the asteroid might be a good thing, to “wipe the slate clean” and start fresh.

Orbital dynamics are *very* tricky to determine with accuracy, and the smaller the body the more bigger objects like the sun and the planets can affect it with their gravity wells.

Of course, they could also knock it closer to us. But lets let our grandkid’s grandkids worry about it, unless Ray Kurzweil is right and we’re all still alive, in which case bring a spare pair of pants with ya.

I’m planning to be too dead to be killed in 2182, same as last year when the news came out.

Oooo, I just invented a planetary defense system! All we have to do is to focus and project all that media attention on the asterioid itself! Thereby deflecting it and (I just thought of it) turning off the weapon! It’s perfect, nothing can go wrong.
