In your reply you are talking about an asteroid half the size of France.

You're right, not that big.  Most asteroids are between 9 miles to 20 miles in diameter.

This asteroid they say are targeting is about 300+ metres.

The communication skills in this thread are.... anyway...

They'll probably split it in half and wipe us out.

And I for one am here for it.

Oh thanks for clariying, I didn't realize it's that small.  Those small size are harmless.  Here's a quote.

Thousands of years ago, asteroids have impacted and created craters on earth.  The asteroids 1000 meters or bigger are hard to stop, China and Nasa could try if they want to.

Interesting. I hope it doesn't break apart and cause a bigger problem.

But yeah, the world is pock marked by meteors.

You're welcome!  Though I don't if I completely agree with the quote. It's possible that 3 people died in the Tunguska event. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunguska_event
