I am waiting for this bad boy!!!! It's the 23rd!!



Honestly is there an update on this? It's sort of scary thinking about what the damage it could do if it lands in heavy populated area. Or would it just burn up when it hits the atmosphere? Or would a group be ready to strike it down if it were to be directed at a heavy populated area?



knowing my luck this year it's going to hit me while I am in the washroom.
