To people having panic attacks, it is not large enough to destroy the earth, and we would have plenty of time to evacuate the impact location. Though let's hope it isn't anywhere with permafrost.
You mean populate the impact zone because I'm going to watch
Yeah, my dogs will be gone by then so I would absolutely set up a tent close enough to catch it. I'd even bring a baseball glove for shits and giggles.
Aw, you think we'll still have permafrost by then.
It'll be an equatorial impact.
Well that’s disappointing
