"There's no danger of a collision, but newly-discovered asteroid 2009 DD45 will come close enough today when it flies by our planet 72,000 km (0.00048 AU) away"
Well thank heavens for that!
This thing has the potential to totally destroy New York or London or Paris and has only just been discovered. Never mind the war on terror or piddling about with paltry concenes down here. Hows about spending a couple of billion on finding and deflecting these things?
You see, there's no excuse anymore for the idiot story that it's too expensive or not high enough priority. For an idiotic reason of a few fat-cat bankers lining their pockets, governments have the ability to discover a way to authorise trillions of Dollars or Pounds or Euros of -YOUR- money so that the bankers can continue to jilk you out of interest and charge you for spending your own money.
It won't be long before a rock half a mile wide lands in the sea just off Greenland.
