Phew! That was close!
On Monday, an asteroid near miss. Closest one I’ve ever heard of. Within 4-5 Earth diameters. Lance says they had two days warning. Hey. They didn’t tell us . How are we supposed to know it’s time to head for the hills? This business about avoiding panic doesn’t wash. I’d rather know, and take my chances in the panic.
So it may pay to go survivalist anyway. If the collapse of civilized society depends on the good will of people and the defeat of civilizations enemies then there MAY still be potential for resolution. Not likely but still possible. But negotiation with and appeasement of an cold unfeeling asteroid would be fruitless.
