I am sure in a few weeks they will dismiss this threat like the others we have heard before :):)

Based on this information:

The chances of a catastrophic collision are just one in 909,000.

odds don't mean nothing, one in something means IT COULD. never dismiss anything as random or "harmless"...

(what are the odds of being hit by lightning or winning the lottery? pretty steep... but it DOES happen.)

Wow, that's scary stuff to think about. But it's so fascinating too. I need to take an astronomy class before I finish college. :wink:
