WTF??

...We were JUST missed by an asteroid this morning!* Apparently, TD54 came within 28,000 miles of us.

Um, eek?

*Unnerving knowledge brought to my attention thanks to an SF Signals tweet.

It's probably the best practical justification we have for manned presence in space.

This particular rock, though, at 5-10 meters, wouldn't have been a big deal even if it did hit us.
