There is a 100% we are all going down. And I bet most of you realize the most dangerous thing you do every day is driving 81 feet per second (that’s 55 mph) 4 feet away from another person who is driving while eating a bacon cheeseburger (mmm, bacon).
But I doubt many of us knew how high on the “danger of death” list getting hit by an asteroid is! That is how I want to go. This graphic is from a speech given at the annual TED conference, where a room full of the best-and-brightest brainstorm about all sorts of interesting stuff. If you like Wired Magazine you should definitely check this out.
FYI, a long-long-time-ago, basically in the same place you are sitting right now a huuuuge asteroid hit the earth. It catapulted a huge chunk of molten rock into the stratosphere which we now call the moon. Violent stuff. Big boom.
