    There’s a high probability that a 100m asteroid has already been spotted ahead of time. What could we do about it? Not much.

    OTOH, there haven’t been any such strikes in -recorded- history. We can rest assured that, for the living, the odds of not experiencing one are very good. Also, the Earth is 3/4 water, that’s where they’re likely to strike. People on the shores nearby would be in the most danger… but with warning time.

    Yeah we just need some oil rig guys and like two months of training. Also a space machine gun for some reason? And some animal crackers, of course.
