And it doesn't take long to deliver the goods either. Right away we are blessed with this line
"The asteroid, called 1999 RQ36, has a 1-in-1,000 chance of actually hitting the Earth at some point before the year 2200, but is most likely to hit us on 24th September 2184."
They aren't certain if it will happen, but they are almost certain when it will happen. That's as funny to me as when people say "sometimes always" when making their point.
If you ask me, this whole "it needs to be destroyed 100 years before it hits its target" is just a way to dig up some more dollars. Which is fine by me, I would love for more space travel.
