No Nervous Wrecks

... going down.

At any given time, I have been informed, an asteroid with a diameter of roughly 100 meters could enter the Earth's atmosphere, superheating the air in front of it, instantaneously vaporizing everything within 120 miles of it's crash zone. Upon impact the asteroid itself would vaporize, but the impact force would create a 50 mile wide and 20 mile deep crate-- one to make the Grand Canyon look like a joke-- and blow a wall of earth, rocks and metal hundreds of yards into the air that would then ripple outward like the waves caused by a pebble in a pond, destroying everything in it's path for hundreds of miles in every direction. When this was over, the cloud of gas and ash and hot iron ore that would blanked the hemisphere would blot out the sun for months, if not years, making life for survivors very difficult indeed.

Do you know how much warning we would get if such an asteroid were to come our way? One second. We would see it when it hit our atmosphere and that would be that.

So why argue? Why be stressed out? Why waste time with bad feelings ever? Tomorrow, the net day, the next second you could be gone.

That's what I say.
