This same swarm is believed to have been the origin of the one mile diameter rock that ended the Ice Age and brought on the Younger Dryas age - the coldest recent age.

It’s because our life spans are so laughably short that we are likely not doomed.

Not because something devastating won’t happen again.

I don’t know if the dot of even 90 year would been on a chart comparing it to the earth’s age.

90 wouldn't even be a thought. Seriously. The dinosaurs lived on the Earth for 135 million years. In geological time that's barely five minutes. Hominids and modern humans have been around some five million years, that would would be about thirty seconds.

Damn.

Yet in our minds (or at least mine) we are the end all and be all and the whole universe will disappear when we/I die.

Well it will for me when I die!! lol!

It used to be that stories like this meant a new sci-fi movie was coming out soon.

She's have to be hot to begin with. She's a quasi butterface at best.

Why stop with a lunar telescope, we need one further out, and in lower gravity, like orbiting the 7th planet.
That's right lets put a telescope on the rings around Uranus.

Fireball? Probably just Steve Zodiac and Venus Star.
