When it passes us for the first time we'll be able to see whether it threads the keyhole or not.

If it does, we know we're fucked in 2036.

It'll pass us in 2029. It cannot collide with us then, but if it passes through a region of space near us about 600km across (they keyhole) then it's sure to hit us when it swings back around.

If it misses that keyhole, it'll miss again and head back off into deep space.

Correction: We know the asteroid's course accurately enough now to say that the keyhole is in fact only about 1km wide.

When did you become Mr. Misanthrope?

[Anonymous No.3292801]

I'm sure if we knew it was going to hit and had some advanced warning we'd be able to execute a course of action that would prevent it from striking us.

America would be the least likely to miss. We're the most advanced country on the planet. I know america hate is fashionable but thats just annoying. We'd also probably be the country to solve the problem, i hope if we do we make all the lesser countries pay us tithes.

I've always been relatively misanthropic, only optimistic about the best and brightest pulling the rest of the world along.

Then I realized how tenuous the line between 'society helping me' and 'society killing me' was. I think I'm gonna bunk with Mad Scientist in some relatively deep underwater complex until the tide waters and devastation recede.

Pic partially related: If we can't fix some of the simple ones on there with already-known techniques on treating the problem, perhaps this species doesn't deserve to live into the next century.
