"If I were able to shoot this asteroid (and if I had planned ahead), the bullet would take over a month to reach the target. Not really all that close"Which means even if you shoot NOW, you'd hit it after it has passed Earth. Like shooting it in the BACK as it's leaving. You COWARD! :)

Unless I dropped a decimal point somewhere (quite possible), a bullet fired now from earth would never reach it.
3000 fps equates to about 2000 mph. The object is going about 15x faster. You can’t shoot it in the back no matter how hard you try! :)
