5th Article: Asteroid Collision

This article discusses the possibility of a certain asteroid striking the earth in about 30 years. The world is divided over how to handle this matter, seeing as how the chance of it actually hitting the earth could be about 1:5,500. It said that the asteroid is large enough to level a major city, and that there are actually individuals whose job is to observe space and watch for nearing comets. I would personally perfer that some measures me taken (IE deflect the comet)to prevent this huge rock from possibly killing millions of people.

I like this article a lot just because it reminds me a lot of movies and books that discuss great natural disasters threatening humanity. What makes this instance even more intriguing is that this "natural disaster" is actually from space.
