It's about near earth objects (asteroids, comets, and the like), it's by Gregg Easterbrook, and is just a touch unnerving.

Last winter was the first winter I was cold.......

This could happen at any time, so why would you worry about it? That's no way to live. If it happens, it's done. Until it does, if it does, it doesn't make sense to live your life in fear. That being said, if NASA could give us some kind of warning system, that'd be nice. That way we'll actually know when to be afraid.

Why not just catch a ride on a comet tail like these guys did.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not losing sleep over it.  Hell, after most days at the office I secretly yearn for an asteroid to hit me on the head.  It just seems odd that we will spend untold billions to put a man back on the moon for no valid scientific reason while a real threat may exist.

We put a man on the moon so the Russians wouldn't mess with us.

And we're going back to scare the Chinese?

Are you SURE ?     I thought it was  staged on a movie set.  I could have sworn I saw a starbucks in the back ground when Neil Armstrong jumped outta the lander  :D

I thought we were going to Mars.  Remember around the time we accomplished our mission in Iraq...

Holy shit!  Is that the Grim Reaper with a geetar??

[bowl of soup]

It is estimated that this thing was about ten meters (like that metric Canada?) across.  If it was even just ten times longer we may no longer have Western Canada to make fun of.
