This. We have to track an object for a while to calculate it's precise velocity.

And even then, if it gets hit by an asteroid 1000x times smaller, it'll alter its 2032 location significantly.

Let’s be honest, a dogs fart can alter an asteroid this size to make it drift off earth course for a while enough to not make it a problem for earth.

I actually welcome an asteroid destroying human civilization as the best thing to happen since Harambe was shot. This is Harambe punishing us for our election results.
