Calm down. I didn't mean to alarm you. You are correct, it's not to scale. As I said. So it's nothing to hyperventilate about.

However, relatively speaking, the local environs of the inner solar system are indeed fairly congested. With nearly 10,000 known Near Earth Objects (almost 1,000 of them kilometer size or larger) and perhaps twice that many yet to be discovered, we should be paying attention.

Of course we should be paying attention, but the only thing that the truly ignorant will remember is that kindergarten fuzzy OMG graphic.
Remember, they elected the Obama. Don't EVER overestimate the knowledge and judgement of the average "American."

I don't hyperventilate, except perhaps about ignorance.
As to "alarm," it kicks in when ignorant adults haven't a clue.

What is "relatively" congested?" Relative to the void between galaxies?

Is that something like "hope and change?"
