Oh thank goodness was reading the title and thought for a second there was hope 2025 won’t be too bad but this won’t hit till 2046 :/
That gives us 20 years to perfect how to knock an asteroid off course. Those odds are way too dangerous to ignore. A large lottery jackpot with those odds would lead to riots in the streets by people trying to stay in line to spend their life savings on tickets.
50m across, less than 1 in 500 chance of impact. Yeah I won’t lose sleep over this.
Kerbal Space Program players: „Stand back America, we’ve got this!“
its arelatively small one, even if it hits chances it does real damage are… limited
though it wouldn’t be completely harmless
but if it hits the ocean or an unpopulated area it wouldn’t do much
and that is IF it hits
Doesn’t bother me. I will be living in a cardboard box then along with 200 million other Australians in a over crowded country. Hopefully it hits us before Big Brother 2046 goes to air.
This article is from 2023. The object has since been removed from NASA’s watchlist and is of no concern (according to NASA). But object removal doesn’t make headlines…

Psshh, I’ve already seen this movie! I’m not worried unless the camera begins to overly focus on an under-dog scientist who is becoming increasingly desperate in their attempts to get folks to recognize there was a miscalculation or otherwise missed / overlooked factor making this more dangerous.
Otherwise, I think our plot armor is intact!

jokes aside – I don’t like 1 in 500 especially because thats an estimation in the first place. However, I do like our odds against a 50m object. It could be much larger and much more dangerous so if we gotta take a hit then I at least feel better knowing it won’t be like an extinction level event.
So a little bigger than Tunguska or the Arizona crater. An asteroid this size is expected to hit earth (although not land) every 1000 years or so.
Need to organize a team of miners to detonate a nuke.
