RE: Curiosity | What is the possibility of being hit by an Asteroid?
It is interesting that when you ask the next question "how likely are you to die from an asteroid, the answer is actually the same as the chance that you will die in an airplane crash.
Yet while very few people fear the threat posed by asteroids a lot of people are afraid of flying :P
Anyways great post, Followed and Upvoted you, and hope to connect with you and anyone else who loves space here on steemit :)
You can avoid flying.
You can't avoid getting hit by an asteroid.
Good point!
But that should make us worry even more about Asteroids then!
I don't really think we should worry about them. I mean.. It would cause unnecessary panick and that's not really useful. What would be useful would be solutions to track more asteroids and think of ways to alternate their orbit.
It's just like a crashing plane hitting your house... Should we worry about that?
When I said worry I didnæt really mean it in the sense of being afraid or thinking about it regularly. But rather that it hardly sees any priority, while threats to human life that are statistically less dangerous receives a lot of money in order to help reduce the number of casualties or deaths.
