Am I supposed to panic because it's unlikely to hit? Meanwhile I'm out here wishing for death by meteor.

Yeah I'll take one for the team. I go to the point of impact and when it finaly hits, I'm gonna try to punch it back into orbit.

You don't have to thank me.

Honestly, at this point, there might be enough of us volunteering to bounce that fucker back to Jupiter. A lot of us will be turned into jam but I think it’s worth the sacrifice.
