The Pros And Cons Of NASA Explosion

Round up Bruce Willis, Steve Buscemi, Ben Affleck and the rest of the gang from Armageddon. This rag-tag group of individuals has about one month to stop an asteroid from obliterating planet Earth. No, this is not a sequel to one of the best movies of our generation, but an actual possibility. NASA has had its eyes on an impending asteroid for quite some time. If it's anything to actually worry about is still up for debate.

Despite the potentially horrifying outcome, NASA says we have nothing to fear.

The agency is fairly positive the rock will miss the Earth. They have an "accurate" estimation that it will come within 11,000 miles (17,000 kilometers) to 9 million miles (14 million kilometers). The reasoning behind the wide range is due to the fact that they only had two years to track its progress. To further dispell conspiracy theorists, NASA has made an official report that there is absolutely no chance that this projectile will hit our planet in 2016. However, when it comes back again in 2017, there is a 1 in 250 million chance it will hit. That's right, it's coming back next year, and then again in 2046 and
