Asteroid (currently) estimated to have 1-in-48 chance of hitting Earth in 2032

Let's some folks use that knowledge to prevent potential catastrophe.  In regards to a recent comment I find people like "professor" Brian Cox condescending and insufferable.  As if there weren't enough doom and gloom shizz.  If there were such an event in the books let it come quickly and with the least suffering.

He is a fully fledged academic professor, with a professorial chair at the University of Manchester. I also find him irritating, but his academic status is real. 

Why "professor". I like Brian Cox, he makes subjects that are often complex reasonably accessable and entertaining. 

I suppose everyone to their own.

The comment I described took up only about seconds to a minute or so, in one TV episode, of  a series of programmes about our planetary system. It was a factual, science based series and there wasn’t any doom and gloom. I am sorry if you feel ‘desolate’.
