If that was the odds for the lottery, I’d sign up all day long.

Can we still rely on NASA what about the sharpies?

Honestly, disappointed. We needed something like this to band the world together in science and defeat a common “enemy.” It would’ve made the world a better place.

In comparison, ESA reduced the impact risk to 1,38%
It’s probably a coincidence, but interesting that predictions from NASA go up and down more aggressively than predictions from ESA.

Earth is 360 degrees round, someone’s still getting hit

Like i always like to say. It’s low but not zero.

In a Jon Lovitz voice: “Everything is fine. See, it wasn’t going to hit us at all! Yeah, that’s the ticket…” (works on plans for a shuttle to leave Earth)

Or it’s well on its way and they just want us to live our lives the best we can.

Dammit. I was looking forward to some excitement.

Sorry everyone. I know you are all disappointed. I hope it’s some consolation to you that it’s mathematically likely that someday, a giant asteroid will hit the Earth.

So you’re saying there is definitely still a chance?

I’m seeing new posts about this every day.
“Risk is 1%”
“Risk goes up to 1.8%!”
“Risk is now 2.5%!”
“Scientists say risk is now 1 in 360”
I think this is going to be a money maker for a lot of websites the next few years.

IMO this means it’s actually much more likely to hit and they just don’t want to lose control of the population by enticing workers to YOLO the rest of their lives between now and then.

Tiresome. NASA ought to just admit they have no damn clue how much of a threat thing thing may or may not be.

Once the JWST takes a look next month, the odds will probably drop to near zero.

Can we just figure out the math guys and then report what the probability is rather than giving random updates every 24 hours!!?
