We almost died this morning!

Yes, world, almost every single one of was wiped out this morning. We were within 433,000 kilometres of being wiped out by a giant asteroid. That's only slightly further out than the moon! So see how close we came to a fiery explosive death and you'll be amazed that somehow life still exists on this planet. Actually according to my records there is a whole bunch of times throughout history that life has been almost wiped out by giant asteroids and each time bacteria and algae and stuff have survived enabling life to repopulate in new and exciting ways. Interesting, eh?
