Apophis!

The Stargate fan in me was tickled pink to learn that Apophis the Asteroid passed by close to Earth today! Ha! Cool!

This time, Apophis, named after an Egyptian god of destruction, was no closer than around 15 million kilometres

first of all, I am going to pretend I didn't read any of that. :(

and secondly, hopefully by then, are technologies would be more advanced, and we would be fully prepared and have means of preventing that.

Besides, I think you're over-exaggerating. It is VERY unlikely that it would happen, and NASA wouldn't let allow that anyway.

I didn't meant to upset you, I was just quoting the article. I thought the asteroid had a cool name. They had it on the news as they were studying it to determine the best way to avert it in the future if it were necessary. :)
