Wouldn't we find out years in advance if an asteroid was going to get anywhere near Earth?

Even the one on February 4 isn't really coming anywhere near us - there's some expansive definition of a "threatening" asteroid ... it will be 10 times further away from the Earth than the Moon is. That's considered a "threatening" asteroid.

We still can't see the planet past Pluto. For all of our astrological prowess, we're still not as good as we think we are.

Yeah, but asteroids aren't traveling at warp speed. It's not going to suddenly come upon us.

Detection isn't guaranteed regardless.

That asteroid is probably racist. Targeting largely black and poor neighborhoods and s.hole countries in africa and haiti.

Like katrina, although katrina was steered by W.
