this is interesting. so, many asteroids would basically just be like dropping a nuke at a completely random place.

if a world-ending asteroid was 100% guaranteed to hit the earth, I could easily see a global effort working at any cost to stop it.

but, if an atom bomb size asteroid was 10% likely to hit the earth... I doubt we'd ever do anything about it.

that somehow seems a bit more plausible as a catastrophic scenario. we're so lazy that we don't stop the low-damage asteroid that only might hit us, which of course proceeds to hit one of the worst places possible.
