"It's really just a big thing falling on the ground . . . "
 

Now that the asteroid has passed, we have a spy satellite to worry about. Pieces of this thing will most likely drop somewhere.

Here's some specific and comforting words from an Air Force General:

"We're aware that this satellite is out there," Renuart said. "We're aware it is a fairly substantial size. And we know there is at least some percentage that it could land on ground as opposed to in the water."

"It's really just a big thing falling on the ground that we want to make sure we're prepared for."

That just cracks me up! :D

Lay out a large "bull's eye" of lime in a parking lot and have another "Skylab party".
