HOW ABOUT AN ASTEROID STRIKE? A "BIG ROCK" GOING REALLY FAST

A GREAT BIG ROCK IS HEADING OUR WAY!
Could this ‘city killer’ asteroid strike somewhere important?

An award-winning UK scientist warns that it might be too late to deflect the “City Killer” asteroid that’s headed toward Earth. According to scientists, we can’t deflect or destroy it either. According to at least one expert, we’re at the mercy of the trajectory of “Meteor 2024 YR4.” Just this last December the ‘City Killer’ was discovered hurtling through our galaxy. This thing is about the size of the Statue of Liberty, including her pedestal.

When first seen, asteroid experts calculated its chances of hitting us at around 1-in-50. Now, only a couple of months later, its course and trajectory have shifted. Those same scientists who gave us 1-in-50 now say the odds are about 1-in-43. Hmmm.

Remember that it’s still a long way away in the outer reaches of our galaxy and won’t be here until 2032 [unless it speeds up, using gravity from other moons, planets, etc.] And while the odds of Armageddon might seem slim, space scientists say we’re in big trouble if this ‘space boulder’ is really on a collision course with Earth.

One can only speculate where on Earth it might hit and with what force. Scientists say that an asteroid of this size could wipe out a medium-sized city with the force of a hydrogen bomb. Now that’s a sobering thought.

What if we could predict exactly where it would hit, if it hit? It might be a real estate agent’s dream, or nightmare. He could sell off property at a discount just days before the big KABOOM. Well, that’s just speculation of course.

One could only hope this big rock lands where there is no intelligent life. The Gobi Desert, The South Pole, Detroit, Chicago or maybe Washington, D.C. One can only hope.

I offer my “Ode to The Rock”. Meteor, meteor, spaceborn stone. Out there somewhere all alone. High above where we all lie, perhaps God’s Judgment from the sky. Meteor, meteor, out there a sailin’ save all your energy for some illegal alien. Oh stone that through the sky careens, oh, oh, ‘refried’ beans. If there is a god of order, please land on our southern border. Meteor, meteor, spaceborn stone. Don’t leave those people all alone. Let Tijuana be where you land, make 5 square miles of bubbling sand.

Nothing political today. Just hopes and dreams for a better future.

I choose “Detroit”.
