We shouldn't worry too much, NASA will send up Bruce Willis and his mates. They'll blow it up in time

At least there was a "media personality" to set things straight.

'Mother Earth' is uncaring, unthinking, unconscious, and about as far away from any aspect of motherhood I can think of …

We are all locked in a battle for survival, make no mistake about that.

To think otherwise, is delusional.

For a great "Moonagheddon" book, try "The Cataclysm" ( AKA "The Hopkins Manuscript") by R.C. Sherriff. Originally published in 1939, its surprisingly perspicacious.

The only thing "scary" about the event is that it might be clouded out.

As opposed to here where the amazing thing would be to NOT be clouded out.
