Holy cow!
It may be just as well that we didn't know that this asteroid was only 120,000 kilometers away until it was past us. (No, not that asteroid, or this one, but this one.)

Don't you think it's about time we stopped blowing each other up and got off this rock while we still can? I mean, I'm not particularly devout, and I'm not superstitious at all, but the phrase "warning shots from the Almighty" won't go away.

And if we're really serious about this Survival of the Species thing, we may have to cull the herd a little to eliminate the renegades who aren't interested in that. We can start by glazing over the West Bank before its current occupants kill another of these.

I didn't used to be so bloodthirsty.
