Asteroid Strike 2036

The Earth has been hit by asteroids many times in its history. That may happen again soon. In 2029 an Earth crossing asteroid (one that crosses the Earth's orbital path) will make a close pass. Close in this case means it will fly in between Earth and our orbiting communications satellites, that's very close. It will ,however, miss us. Unfortunately, in 2036 it will come near us again and this time we may not be so lucky. Depending on how its orbit is effected by the Earth's gravitational pull when it goes by in 2029, it could hit us. The thing is about half a mile across and if it does hit us it could severly effect our environment. We'll see how it goes.
