Meh. I never worry about what I can’t control. You shouldn’t either. Eventually...someone is gonna take a fastball (meteor) to the face. It’s just a matter of when.

Also...from https://archive.briankoberlein.com/2015/12/15/is-earth-gaining-mass-or-losing-mass/index.html

”Earth gains mass through dust and meteorites that are captured by its gravity. If you watched the recent meteor shower you know this can occur on a regular basis. In fact from satellite observations of meteor trails it’s estimated that about 100 – 300 metric tons (tonnes) of material strikes Earth every day. That adds up to about 30,000 to 100,000 tonnes per year. That might seem like a lot, but over a million years that would only amount to less than a billionth of a percent of Earth’s total mass.”
