Tommaso, I'll agree with both posts, however from what I learned in an Astronomy class we now pretty much know that will be at minimum tens of millions of years away, and probably billions. I can't get overly concerned, but if we're around then, hopefully we can fly away to other solar systems. I believe we do have choices in most cases, but we're currently not prepared to find and deflect things like large meteors that could change life as we know it. We can continue fighting with one another, or we can decide to work on trying to make the earth a better place to live. I doubt we can do both simultaneously. In the last few years we've had near misses from good sized asteroids, what's frightening is in most cases they were only spotted days before passing close to earth. In some cases it wasn't until after they passed. It's pretty clear, this is what wiped out the dinosaurs, it's time we made an effort not to let it get to us. Gary
