It might sound like something from the plot of the apocalyptic
science fiction blockbuster, Don't Look Up.
But NASA warns that the odds of a 'city-destroying' asteroid
hitting Earth have increased yet again.
According to NASA’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies
(CNEOS), the odds of the asteroid 2024 YR4 colliding with
our planet have crept up to 2.3 per cent.
That means there is a one in 43 chance of the space rock
colliding with Earth when it makes its closest pass on
December 2, 2032.
2024 YR4 was first spotted in late December by astronomers
at the NASA-funded Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert
System station in Chile.
Since then, it has leapt to the top of both NASA’s and
the European Space Agency’s (ESA) lists of impact risks
as the probability of an impact continues to increase.
Just a week ago, NASA considered the probability of the
asteroid hitting Earth was only 1.3 per cent.
. . .
OK ... this is looking kinda BAD now.
Put Trump and Musk on it - they can and WILL push
intervention ahead while too many others will
dither and fret until it's too late.

Trump/Musk will not lift a finger unless they
can make money from it.
