Tinfoil at the ready!

if something that large (or larger) were to hit, would it:
A. Unite the Earth's peoples with a sense of common purpose (defend the planet)
B. Give rise to impact-deniers and sceptics

Goddamnit I booked Butlins for that day!

The asteroid is a lie.

I was going to burgle yours! Butlins was merely a clever ruse...

It's a good read that, its a scary prospect, but glad it misses! I see the scaremongering started though by suggestions that if it misses in 2029 it might come back round and smack us in 2035! Cue nukes THROUGH orbit!

"That's it man, game over man, game over!"

A space rock is threatening to hit us? We need to invent large space paper.

The asteroid is about 320 meters wide. "That's big enough to punch through Earth's atmosphere," devastating a region the size of, say, Texas

This is not a proper disaster because everybody knows it has to be the size of Wales.

Anyway, I should be dead by then.
