On May 31, 2013 asteroid 1998-QE2 will be passing earth at a distance of approximately 3.6 million miles. The asteroid, believed to be a remnant of a comet, is about 1.7 miles, making it big enough to be a “global killer” should it ever strike earth. But because its trajectory puts it at about 15 times further away from the earth than the moon, astronomers say there’s no chance it’ll hit our planet on this pass.
NBC Nightly News, however, has advised viewers to get ready for 1998-QE2's imminent fly-by.
Chances are it won’t happen on May 31, 2013. But, of course, were a massive asteroid headed our way it would, in all likelihood, be kept a secret from the citizens of earth until the last minute.
Sometimes a question needs a simple answer like "Yes" or "No". Sometimes a question has a more complicated answer like "Maybe", or "I don't know.. Sometimes simple questions are the hardest to answer !!

i´ve been in the army, and "lived" a war.... and i am against wars !!
