An Asteroid (Probably) Isn’t Hitting Earth Any Time Soon
Once, a very long time ago, a massive asteroid hit the Earth and wiped out the dinosaurs. In addition to functionally restarting land-based life on our planet and setting the stage for humans to eventually become the dominant species, that asteroid made us extremely aware of one thing—we are at risk.
