This is why I said "worst case." The likelihood of an asteroid hitting the earth in the next 25 years is very, very small (
according to NASA, "...as best as we can tell, no large object is likely to strike the Earth any time in the next several hundred years"), and much smaller than the likelihood that humans continue on their present course of population growth, resource consumption, and environmental destruction. I leave it here merely to ensure we are all grounded in reality, lest we get too caught up in utopian visions of post-carbon hippie forest life (which, for the record, I think
would be nice but extremely unlikely to happen).
