What if a never-before-seen asteroid barreling in our direction was likely to strike Earth? 

That’s the hypothetical scenario NASA astronomers tested with a recent simulation in which officials attempted to plan for an asteroid that had a 72% chance of hitting Earth in just 14 years. 

After the theoretical timeline was posed to a group of nearly 100 government representatives in April, NASA found that the best plan they made to counter the horrifying doomsday scenario had several “high-level gaps,” according to their presentation.

Anyone who’s watched the 2021 black comedy ‘Don’t Look Up’ will recall the plans, proposed by Mark Rylance’s odious billionaire Sir Peter Isherwell, to mine a comet that is hurtling towards Earth.And whilst the fictitious tech entrepreneur’s greed and ignorance ultimately seal humanity’s doom, his idea isn’t as far-fetched as it may sound.Indeed, there exists an asteroid, christened Psyche by scientists, that is a veritable treasure trove of rare elements and metals, whose value has been estimated at a staggering $100,000 quadrillion. That’s many, many multiples of the entire world’s economy. It was discovered by Italian astronomer Annibale de Gasparis...

Initially considered a potential calamity, the space rock named 99942 Apophis has now become an object of study. Scientists hope to improve our defenses against similar celestial bodies as Apophis creeps closer to our planet.
