Fucking 2020, man...

This year could end with a bang.

Scientists recently spotted an asteroid on a direct collision course to Earth — projected to hit a day before the presidential elections in November.

The flying space object, known as 2018VP1, is expected on Nov. 2, according to the Center for Near Objects Studies at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

  5. By the time is completes atmospheric entry, it'll be about the size of a basketball. Remember that meteor that blew up over Russia? Smaller. Unless it heads nearly straight down, we wont' even notice it.
    We heard this and my two oldest daughters, 14 and 12, started giggling... and then began to chant "SMOD's really coming, SMODS's really coming."
