People are going way to over the top on this. Asteroids are nowhere near as bad as some people are making them out to be most of the time. Hundreds of rocks and stuff from space strike the Earth every year, but nothing is done about it. It's just unlikely that an asteroid that big would hit the Earth. In the Earth's life HUGE asteroids have collided with the Earth. If it did wipe out eveyr living organism on the planet, then we wouldn't be here today, as we wouldn't have had anything to evolve from.

Well, I think that this is quite possible and even probable, if we do not stop doing things the way we are now. Spending money for prevention of the collision is, however, just a good marketing move and something that will calm the public down. I don't think that there is anything we can do, if this asteroid is really facing towards us. But lets look at it that way: What is it going to change for us? It will be just another problem, we will have to face, because of our attachment to this world and our body!

Imagine that you are not attached to this body and this world, life...think about the freedom that awaits you in this realization! It is acctually nothing more than mere realization that THINGS ARE JUST THE WAY THEY ARE and you cannot change them even though you spend hours being angry because of the cruelty of this world..

Why not accept it, instead? Believe me that if you do accept everything around you just as it is, the asteroid won't be a problem anymore!

it still has good chances to hit earth, 1 /45000 isnt really much and if we add to that the error percentage it could be more, or it could be less. What if something along its way makes it slightly change its trayectory.
