[meteorite-list] THE SUM FEAR OF SOMETHING HITTING US!!!

Good morning all. Coming from my astronomy side, the idea of something hitting our little world, can either be great or small. It is like us losing in the WORLD CUP SOCCER. A 1 to 0 game in the soccer world is like losing 20 to 0! the vastness of space is great, that one would wonder how we could
