It's like a 2% chance. From what I remember, it can wipe out a city, assuming that it will hit a city in the first place. The chance of that happening is even lower.

Also, we already have the technology to shoot missiles at them to change their trajectory. We did it once, I believe.

Still, it sounds safer to be out in the countryside.

Arisu in Borderland, very good show.

Also, the expected range was from like 2009. Though, it is likely to miss, and if it does come within our range. It should hit somewhere out in the Pacific Ocean I believe.

The odds of it hitting a city is very low, and the odds of it hitting at all is very low.

I'll check it out someday. Thank you.

The concept is a death game, I won’t spoil the end. Think of a deck of cards, and the cards indicate the difficulty of the game.

They have to win the games in order to get home. Each of the characters there though have a connecting point, some kind of regret that keeps them in limbo to say.

True, everyone knows big stones from space favor areas with a dense population for their retirement plan. It's like alien invasion with the USA.

Let it hit Moscow or Beijing. Ooh, better yet, Pyongyang. Nobody really lives there anyways

What when? All I know is watching that one "crashing" of satellite into a meteorite/asteroid, the crashing part itself was considered successful. Don't know about changing its course and all.

It wasn't a missile that's for sure. We've never really done any practical asteroid prevention, it's all hypotheticals and niche sub-divisions whining for more investment.

People should not be shocked if there really is a city wide destruction by an asteroid that was predicted years ago. There's no active programme that has the capability to act on threats of that scale. Either the threat will remain "To be assessed" for way too long and become way too costly to resolve at the last moment so they'll shift to damage mitigation and evacuation procedures or our hypotheticals fail and we partially or fully fail in deviating the rock from crashing.


Succeeding will actually be a surprise, and a huge milestone in human history.


It's like an uncharted sea route, we know it exists and some scholars and drunken sailors have "gossiped" it is possible, but no one really has charted the actual course. Somebody has to try it and fail, and it has to be recorded and analysed to make better decisions next time.


Hopefully if it does cross the atmosphere intact it will land in the ocean.

If that asteroid doesn't give us superpowers after they nuke it to dust and the powder gets absorbed into our bodies I'll be pissed
