Damn I was really holding out for a sweet, sweet cataclysm.
that means it wasn’t from the start, we just didn’t know for sure.
Didn’t the news say we wouldn’t be able to observe it and refine the calculations until 2028, when it circled around again? What changed? Or did I not read far enough?
Does this really need to get posted every 3 hours?
Well, that’s too bad. I was really looking forward to a day or two off in next decade.
it still has a 1.7% chance of hitting our moon. I guess that’s no so bad.
Dammit. Us Millennials just can’t have anything to look forward to, can we?
I gave them too much time. I was expecting this to last maybe until next month.
Of all the news that’s been happening.
This probably disappoints me the most.
Well damn. Guess we just have to deal with the disaster that the world is currently producing then
“no longer a threat” is strange wording for something that was never actually a threat.
It never was a threat to life on Earth. A rock of that mass would be a Tunguska at best
Sure, that’s exactly what the aliens want you to think…
tis post had 10 likes, seconds latter 120 upvotes wtf
That’s a bummer. This was going to keep me somewhat excited for the next 7 years. Ahh well, maybe aliens will come or something.
Wild how many more upvotes negative news gets. Literally everyone seems to only want to read and upvote about terribly dramatic happenings lately
No. Come back. Please. You were the hero we needed.
The statistics are a bigger threat to our mental then the actual asteroid itself at this point.
Didn’t care when there was a chance, don’t care now that there isn’t a chance. Nothing I’m gonna do about it either way.
Aw, too bad. I was looking forward to being obliterated.
That’s what they want you to believe until we start seeing NASA leaks of black space shuttles in testing next few years
*Greenland* already did this. C’mon, Universe, be more creative.
Pick me asteroid, much? We are already moving on…
Well, it’s not zero but it’s infinitesimally small. And that’s based on projection models. I can think of a few places it would be nice to hit but heeyyyyy
You sure? Asking for an asteroid-loving friend
