Funny thing: Exactly the same thing happened during the first exodus of Jews from Egypt... (<- wierd biblical reference)

And today, as then, Israel will be fighting for it's survival in both times... hmmmm...

So this thing comes along and destroys earth in about a million and a half years. Great, just great. We just finish paying off Obama’s debts and the world ends a year later. Just my luck.

"Almost enough time to pay off 0bama's deficit."

Or that stimulus plan to finally kick in...

From a comment posted to the story. Yep, you guessed it:

“The chances of humankind starting to “develop and execute several very ambitious, expensive and long-lived plans” are slim and none. Consider how many are currently in denial of the imminent problems we will soon be experiencing from the effects of global warming. And that will be happening a lot sooner than Gliese 710 is slated to visit.”

How much time do we have (I don’t wanna die a virgin...)? ....

[Noob1999]

Wow! Thanks for the head’s up!

I’d best go down to my shelter and check the date code on my peas and green beans!

[SunkenCiv]

Not to worry, we may have less time than 1.5 million years.

• Earth under attack from an invisible star?

[CyberAnt]

I don’t think luck will help .. the next 3 will be on our knees.
