NASA Nerfs City-Killer Asteroid

An asteroid with more energy than a nuclear bomb had a 3.1% chance to hit Earth in 2032. Sigh.

Damn, me and all the people I know had already made plans to form a new city-state in the crater. Disappointed.

[Mid-Suavemente]

Aw man. Nothing fun ever happens in this solar system.

"Personally rooting for the asteroid."
God do I feel that.

[MrHeorhe]

"Forcasted to hit earth with the power of a nuclear weapon"

Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?

[off-seasonmemes]

The biggest city killer asteroid would be Kyle shaving his beard. We wouldn’t survive the hit

[yamiraguero]

I lowkey was hoping the asteroid was headed this way

NOT TO KILL US but to make us develop anti asteroid technology

[wisuslara]

Ohh man, I was looking forward to see Bruce Willis destroying the asteroid.

[makibo.mp]

I dont know man, I think earth really needed this asteroid update.

[DanBowkley]

Does this mean I have to scrape the GIANT METEOR 2032 sticker off my car now?

Dammit.

[SlyRoapa]

I'm just disappointed we don't get to watch NASA launch an impactor to deflect it. It would have been a fun little reminder of why the world needs NASA.

[karenstarr]

Damn I was rooting for the asteroid too.

[PistonAvatarGuy]

It wasn't big enough, we need a bigger rock.

[Mastermind]

And then another space body we weren't watching collides with it and now it's 85%.😱

[azdaze]

The "good thing we didn't fire nasa employees" or whatever is just.... painful

[FunderDuck]

If there was a high probability a large asteroid was going to hit earth, it would be fascinating to see what (if any) mitigation efforts would be attempted.

[CitizenFortress]

I kinda still wanna watch and see how big of an impact it could potentially make.

[nasapeepolover]

The asteroid was trying to do us all a favor

[shywatermelon]

I hate how they’re writing out my favorite character

[TheArchersTungsten]

If you chance of winning the lottery was 1 in 1000 everybody would be playing.

[sebsensen]

I think the killer asteroid took one look at what we're doing to ourselves and realised it was not needed.
