Chances are it won't happen. I'll be old anyway, so I won't care if it hits or not. :P

Isn't that the asteroid that is responsible for the apocalypse in RAGE? Or am I confusing it with 99942 Apophis?

Those are some pretty good odds. Craps and roulette offer better odds and think of how often people win at those.

If it did hit us and we still had no way of stopping it by then, we deserve to die.
