Its a fact no one knows but keeping his own look out is the way to go cause the government are keeping quiet to avoid panic.

Sad and I really feel sorry for him but I bet my suggested responce will make him happy because above all humans need to believe in something, also if he is busy looking thr his new scope he will get tired and sleep which strangely may be just the solution to help him overcome his fears.
Ask for a deposit that will sort out if he is a scammer.

Yeah I was kinda tempted to pitch him a scope or camera to find planets, just for kicks, but at the same time it's just sad.

Sad because I know close friends who struggle with paranoia, and to them the threat of *insert crazy event here* is very real and has very real consequences on their health. They normally would be logical people but paranoia makes them immune to reasoning and logic.

I never had an answer for my friend that would calm them down so I don't have an answer for this guy either!

And speak of the devil... Ashley got the same message too!

Conspiracy theorists are the worst... they prey on people like these.

Call it funny, sad, or stupid... there's just no dignified way out of this is there?!

Tell this person to go to Planet Y if Planet X is going to end.
PS: I don't think it was a serious message. Just somebody in need of attention or who wants to have a good laugh.
I don't think that somebody who really feels that way would message a stranger on FB anyway.
