What are the odds of a meteor and and asteroid entering the atmosphere in the same day on earth? Answer is 100 million to 1 chance daily. Imagine if this had happened on Mayan apocalypse day! It might as well have in relation to astronomical events. “…and there will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars, and on the earth distress of nations…” Nasa has admitted to the press that they are watching about 1400 potentially hazardous Asteroids but even the harmful ones are hard to spot far away. Live everyday like its your last because this is not science fiction–get your house in order, fish when you can, tell people close to you that you appreciate them. You never know when the earth hits the mega jackpot dinosaur extinction lottery and we are playing the odds every day. We don’t really have the science to predict in the future when an extinction asteroid will hit but the best guess is 1 in 10,000 odds that we could be hit by a large asteroid in the next 100 years. That’s almost better than the odds on the niners winning multiple super bowls in next year 10 years…
Don’t worry about it too much, Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck are still alive to save us (saw Bruce today in “Good Day to Die Hard ” and he looks strong but old)–three thumbs up.
