Do you really think if there wasnt a very good chance this thing would hit us they would be making such a big deal about this one, name it "The Destroyer" and be offering $50k on how to land something on it?
People need news and sensations. And the scientists need work and fame. And everybody should believe that scientists are really working, I guess...Everybody gets what's necessary...
No, it doesn't. In Ancient Greek destroy(er) is απολώ. Apopis (the snake, not the Pharaoh) is actually an Ancient Egyptian word which was later used by the greeks. It is the snake demon ipp who is the enemy of the Sun God Ra in the Book of the Dead.
See, it pays to go to school.

HAPPY FRIDAY THE 13TH you have exactly 29 YEARS TO LIVE.
Apophis is a near earth asteroid that will most likely impact the Earth on Friday 13th in April 2036. It is the only "NEO" that has been named, and named appropriately. Apophis means "The Destroyer" in Greek.
Wow, so it's true what they say...Friday the 13th is really bad luck...
They say it's going to just barely miss, but that's too close. Considering the moon controls the tides, I wonder if that thing coming so close will effect the earth in any way?
and even if it was right on course 29 years from now, by then we will be able to either change it's trajectory somehow or start moving to a new planet...
