Asteroid to hit earth on 12 july 2038! 'Planetary defence exercise'

Follow @factual_123
NASA has issued an alert that an Asteroid that measures up to the size of a large 88-ft airplane is gushing towards planet Earth which could effect the entire planet. NASA has issued a warning about asteroid 2024 KN1, scheduled for a close approach to Earth on June 23, 2024, at 11:39 PM IST.

US space agency NASA, in the biennial Planetary Defense Interagency Tabletop Exercise, has found that a potentially hazardous asteroid has a 72% chance of hitting the Earth and we may not be adequately prepared to prevent it.

The planetary defence officer emeritus at NASA Headquarters in Washington, Lindley Johnson said, "The uncertainties in these initial conditions for the exercise allowed participants to consider a particularly challenging set of circumstances. A large asteroid impact is potentially the only natural disaster humanity has the technology to predict years in advance and take action to prevent."
The Tabletop exercise summary noted, "During the exercise, participants considered potential national and global responses to a hypothetical scenario in which a never-before-detected asteroid was identified that had, according to initial calculations, a 72% chance of hitting Earth in approximately 14 years."

To be precise, "72% chance of Earth impact on 12 July 2038 (14.25 years warning time)."

The exercise also highlighted several key gaps in Earth's preparedness: undefined decision-making processes and risk tolerance, limited readiness for rapid implementation of space missions, the need for timely global coordination of messaging, and undefined asteroid-impact disaster management plans.

If earth had peace one day, we would maybe be able to defend this

Yes this isb true after aphophis in 2029 and 2036 this is very big threatening for us😢 and chance is may be 72% in 12/07/2038
Only have 14 year earth life is remaining!

This is just an "excercise".
But being at 3% on 2029 thats scary enough and if not hit, for sure 2036 will be it. So, not 14 years, 12 years I'll say.

It's time to exchange the yearly budget of defence and nasa 😂 please give nasa atleast 1 trillion dollars a year , we will not argue as it will be best use of taxpayers money right now for 14 years atleast 😅
