Ain’t that just like a SMOD?
A day late and an end of civilization short.
NASA’s data shows the 60-meter asteroid, spotted by Spanish stargazers in February, will whistle by Earth in 11 months. Its trajectory will bring it within a hair’s breadth of our planet, raising fears of a possible collision.
This one is a little small, only a couple hundred feet across, but with the right impact area it could do some good in this world.
It bothers me that both the Mayans and SMOD are conspiring to keep the current, Franklin’s Nightmare election going.

I had done the calcs in my head and said “Minimum 10,000 miles. Hmmmmph.”
And then found out my estimates were off, and it was 17,000 miles.
I think SMOD is just big ol’ skanky celestial tease.
Where’s a good Tunguska-style event when you need one?
The Earth sucks so much it will affect the trajectory of the object, so there’s still hope.
