      Eh calculated impact path ranges from south america through africa and india. None of these are where i want it to land.

        Same here but I figure the rates are going to be really cheap so I can just use up my vacation days and travel to wherever it hits.

      Even if it’s at the top end of the predicted range, an impact would be ~40MT equivalent. Enough to level a city, but not an extinction event by any means; plus the likely impact path is across central America, the Atlantic, central Africa and north India - not really regions that have the resources to respond to a threat like this. Personally I’m hoping it misses, because I don’t see the counties that could do something about it stepping up right now, so you’d be looking at maybe 100 million people displaced from their homes and an insurmountable humanitarian crisis

        In midst of all this funnymaking, I’d like to point out for the record that anybody who genuinely wants it to hit Earth is fucking insane. Some combination of sociopath and psychopath.

          The only scenario in which I would really want it to hit would be if it would lead to moderate global cooling without hitting populated areas. If it can dislodge enough particulates over one of the poles to block out some sun and give us a couple of years of reprieve from global warming, without actually killing anyone or destroying much wildlife, that would be nice.

        Most countries on Earth would treat this as a global catastrophe and put up funds regardless of where it’s projected to impact.

        Maybe not the current US, though.

        I’m Indian and I’m OK with this hitting North India lol

        Or Pakistan

        Either is fine.

        What happens if it crashes into Sahara? Do we get glass desert?
