“A POTENTIALLY deadly asteroid has ten chances to collide with Earth over the next 84 years, according to Nasa. The space rock Apophis could wipe out millions if it careens into our planet.”
Sounds imminent, right? Nah! The earliest of those dates is 41 years in the future, so you have plenty of time to set your affairs in order.
In fact, if you and your other are thinking of parenthood, you have time to have kids who have kids of their own, who then have their own kids in turn, at which time you can set your great-grandchildren’s affairs in order!
(You have to love the random capitalization in the British tabloids. The word “potentially” is in caps, while the acronym NASA is not.)
Look at the positive side…it’ll solve climate change in one swoop.
I’m not sure that nuclear winter is the optimal solution.
