Will the earth be destroyed (eventually) by an asteroid?

An asteroid flew past Earth on March 30th about 2 million miles away. That's about nine times farther away than the Moon.

There was no danger of collision. And that's a really good thing. This space rock, named 2006 VV2, is more than a mile wide (about 2 kilometers), according to the web site Spaceweather.com. If one that big did hit Earth, it'd destroy everything for hundreds of miles around and likely upset global commerce and create climate change unlike anything seen in modern history.

The rock was far too dim to see with the naked eye. Seasoned backyard astronomers tried to spot it with good-sized telescopes and CCD cameras, however.

The best viewing locations was in the Americas, according to Spaceweather.com. The rock passed directly over southern California at about 11 p.m. local time.

Astronomers have catalogued hundreds of asteroids larger than a half-mile that sometimes pass in the vicinity of Earth's orbit. None are known to be on a collision course, but more remain to be found. One asteroid, called Apophis, will pass very close to Earth in the year 2029 and has a minor chance of hitting the planet in 2036. Some have called for a mission to track Apophis more closely by attaching a device to it.

Yes. And no, it won't be destroyed by asteroids - Earth will be invaded by cute naked aliens, and then Eartheans will be evacuated to Magnagroum (a planet in Andromeda Galaxy) before Earth gets destroyed by the minions of the Kindus (an evil being who keeps trying to take over the universe).

I went to the future once - no worries, it's gorgeous (but the gorgeous part comes after the 4 nightly wars)

i want the planet of the alien cat girlz to invade

i think we'll die either being sucked into the sun
or nuclear exchange

cat aliens are all infected with STD - some have too much fur full of lice.

i dont know what alley cats youve been sleeping with
but myne are all clean

Conventions of Kitty Women! Awwwwww

(*spraying the cat chicks with antibugs*)

sometimes knowledge is a burden If we didnt explore space and s***, we would be in blissful ignorance

Indeed. We'd be like Dinosaurs.
Dinocus, Dinobee, Dinomaxi,..
Blah, knowing this, we're now stressed.

Maybe we should start building bunkers deep down.

i wanna join up to be a sexual experiment for the aliens (female only)
