The Distant Threat of Apophis

While it is highly unlikely that this asteroid will impact the Earth on FRI 13 April 2036, over 27 years from now, the odds of an impact are greater than the possibilities of many other occurrences in one's life. This writer will not be around when and if it happens, and an even greater impactful number of events are likely to be ongoing with the increased consequences of global warming being seriously felt and experienced regularly by many if not most beings and other life forms on this planet by then. Even if an asteroid impact does occur on that date, scientists believe it could be in the ocean which will lessen the effects and not wipeout mankind and society. But fear not, another asteroid or heavenly body is likely to impact the earth within the lifetimes of the children of children today, and that impact may result in all but the end of the existence of human civilization with only several hundred to a less than two thousand survivors remaining, having been in facilities orbiting the Earth and in Space at the time of the impact.
