Per wiki that impact has been ruled out, but theres a slight chance of an impact a few decades later, something like 1 in 150,000. Quote HistoryQuoted:

So, if the moon is 250,000 miles away and out geostationary satellites are at 25,000 miles....that means this thing is expected to pass between 250,000 and 25,000 miles of earf.
I sure hope these guy's mathematics are spot on.

Shoot, we'll be dead long before that. Sept. 23 is when the happenings. On September 23, 2017 a sign forms in the heavens that fits the requirements of Revelation 12. As far as can be determined from computer models, this is the only time this sign will occur in history. Therefore, this would literally be the Great Sign of Revelation that is to appear in heaven. The woman in heaven is Virgo–the Virgin. The sun is the sun “clothing Virgo” and the moon is actually under her feet. The garland of twelve stars are the nine stars of Leo with three wandering stars that have been situated within Leo at this time to make twelve. Those wandering stars are: Mercury, Mars, and Venus. The last element of the sign is that the Virgin must be with child. The planet or star of the Messiah is Jupiter. Jupiter at this time is in the womb of Virgo. Again, no replication of this sign has yet to be found. Oh well....I'll watch the end from a ladder stand. |

The meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs used a larger caliber to compensate for its lower speed and relatively primitive design. A modern ballistic meteor, made from modern materials and moving at a higher velocity, can be expected to perform similarly. See Walker Dragoon vs. .357 Magnum. |

There actually is a scale to measure the threat level of asteroid impacts.
The Torino Scale The highest level ever assessed was a 4, which was later downgraded. There are currently no known objects with positive Torino Scale scores |

I read somewhere it doesn't matter. It was also in "Lucifers Hammer" There comes a point that size and direction of a cosmic collision would become a moot point, but I'm guessing short of breaking the planet apart...it would indeed matter. |
