Who cares? None of us will be alive by then. Even if it were to hit in 150+ years, I believe they will develop technology to either deflect the asteroid or destroy it.

is most likely to hit us on 24th September 2182.

The good news is that if Obama finishes the job here there won't be anything on the world worth saving by then.

With any luck, it may come before BO’s re-election in ‘12...if there still ARE elections by then.

“...has a 1-in-1,000 chance of actually hitting the Earth...”

I like those odds.

To quote Everybody Loves Raymond Romano “Come on Comet!”

I think that was the PMS episode.

And scientists say that any attempt to try and divert the asteroid will have to take place more than 100 years before it is due to hit to have any chance of success.

I suspect this estimate is based on currently (or readily) available technology. Scientific advancement should let us open that window a bit. OTOH, if we continue to elect Barackamite Luddites, our grandchildren might be dancing around bonfires shaking bones at the gods to make the Sky Demon go away.

What a crock.

An 1800 foot long asteroid is not massive.
1 in 1000 chance of hitting Earth is pretty slim.
Mass extinctions? No way.

Junk science.

Fascinating! Since they are trying now- more than 100 years PRE collision- to find a way to divert it that would make the failure to save the planet OBAMA’S FAULT!
Finally! Something will be Hussein’s fault!

Somehow, I don’t think anyone will be here to see it (if it happens, that is).

That’s why the election of 2178 is going to be so pivotal.
