In Kevin Krajik's 2007 article ,for Popular Science, he enlightens the public with information of millions of NEO's (Near-Earth Objects). Krajik lets the public know what exactly it is thats in outer space, who is watching these meteorites, and what they're planning. They have estimated that one meteor is going to hit Earth in 2029. They say the places most likely to be hit are the U.S. and China. NASA's ideas so far are to blow up the meteor, crash into it, or push/pull it but they have continuously found problems with those options. So They are currently working on ways to make sure homo sapiens do not end like the dinosaurs did.

great Blair, you sure had know how to make me worried/a little bit frightened about the future. as if i wasn't worried enough about 2012(the year the mayans thought would be the end of the world). anyway about your question, i think there are many things that could happen that the earth could not protect itself from. afterall we don't know what massive and harmful things are out there in outerspace, now do we?
