Earth is Doomed!

Yazata Offline
NASA has discovered an asteroid called 2023DW that they say has a small chance of impacting the Earth in 2046. It's about 49 meters across (161 feet).

Before you start smoking again, it currently only has a Torino Scale value of 1 (nothing to worry about) but they are still calculating its orbit more exactly and that could change.

Still, it has about a 1/500 chance of impacting the Earth with a Tunguska sized hit.

Of course, by 2046 the Space Force should have enough of Elon's Starships to send a battle fleet to take care of it.

I'll be 86. I'll be lucky if I'm still here. It's certainly a dramatic way of goin out. Not hanging around for the asteroid winter though even if I have to off myself..
