Apparently. According to half the OT, it’s as simple as weighing a bag of potatoes at the grocery store.

So as the probability of asteroid impact increase so does the job security of NASA employees increase.

The real question is, What are "they" not telling us?
Is Elon's Mars colony fast-track due to a higher expectation of impact? You would think there are thousands of people watching/tracking this thing, but all of them outside very few government people are relying on data provided by government funded sources, so the data may be intentionally misleading.

Same can be said about Washington DC if Congress is in session.

Same people who are angry about hurricane predictions being a few miles off. A lot of people can’t face the fact that as humans, we only know a fraction of what there is to know about space and even what’s on earth, and of that, what we can control is an even smaller fraction.

I would imagine there's a direct correlation between how much government $ NASA is allotted for researching this meteor and the increased risk of impact.

Well, our object collison budget's about a million dollars. That allows us to track about 3% of the sky, and beg'n your pardon sir, but it's a big-arse sky.

Luckily we have time to train astronauts how to drill and not the other way around.
