What, realistically, are our options if a large asteroid decides to hit? As far as I can tell, short of blowing it up (which can make things worse, as instead of one huge rock hitting us, we'll have several rocks/a cloud of them), there's nothing much else we can do. Except pray.
I'll probably chop down that tree the council planted in front of my house which has always been bothering me, get the last word in before we die. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Self-built rig

Seriously
If anyone wants to try and find out if they could even possibly see this asteroid, let alone have a toast to it.
Input your Latitude/Longitude into this locater, to see, if you can even see it. Heavens Above | Select location from map
If your really serious you will have to zoom in to pinpoint your location, and make the correction for your time zone.
Click on submit, you will be taken to another page of Heavens Above, and you will see this at the very top of the page: 
Then, Click on, Click here to see a skymap that will determine the visibility in your location if your position allows it.
