  • right. i know its in 2036 too

  • 2036 you mean.

  • Why does every large thing in the universe have to hit something to get destroyed.

  • Did the asteroid have a name? Wouldn't we know about this?

  • i read it in a book

  • To this asteroid you are talking about.

  • a link to what?

  • I hope we don't die. Can you find a link?

  • well, actually there is one planned to hit earth in about 2024, but there is always a chance it could miss or change direction while in space. It could also just blow up in earth's atmosphere.
