      depends how big it is…. we may do, we may not.

      I tend not to worry about it, because there’s nothing we can do either way 🙂

      I think we can tell if meteorites are likely to come close to earth by watching how they orbit in space – even so, I am sure I remember someone telling me that we need about 100 years warning to do anything about it. But what we could do I don’t know – evacuate earth?
