Can we send up a team to redirect it?
I hear D.C. is nice this time of year for an asteroid impact. Problem is, everyone's on vacation.
"Sparing"
Damn it
220 feet, for those wondering. So closer to an A380 instead of a Cessna 172.
So you're saying we could have had it all, and now all we can do is watch it go past us. Well, isn't that just peachy.
