Rabbie Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Big ones have hit the earth previously. Look what wiped the dinosaurs out. Luckily the realy big hits only ony happen every 100 million years or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerdesal Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I really don't know why people worry about large lumps of stuff hitting the Earth - there's nothing you can do about it and if it hits you you will (probably) not even know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Statistically all these things can happen.As has been said, no point worrying about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
