The latest estimate says there is a 4% chance of it impacting the Moon. That is one chance in 25. There still isn’t very much data about 2024 YR4, so that could *easily* change for the better.
And even if it is on a collision course, it’s only about the size of a 747. So it shouldn’t be that hard to land something and use the thrusters to change it’s trajectory just a tiny bit.
If that succeeds, we might be able to do it some more, and maybe drop it into the Sun.

Do we have the technology to redirect it to Mar Lago so we can save NASA?
