Nowhere near enough.

did your mom have some tacos for dinner again?

This is a bit concerning. The 39,000km (or ~24,000 miles) is close to the geostationary satellite orbit distance and well within Earth’s gravity well. I don’t think I’ve heard of such a large object passing as close in my life.

If Apophis has enough speed, and it should, it’ll whisk right by. But if the rock gets caught in our gravity, things could get a bit dark.

Hope they keep a close eye on this one.

The moon has an elliptical orbit, and doesn't orbit at the same distance at all points, much like the Earth doesn't while orbiting the sun.

At least the nuclear bombs won’t transport us anywhere.

Transportation is worse than death.

I've heard about Apophis. Would do some lovely damage.

These asteroids always seem to miss Earth, stupid things.
