You Still Need To Go To Work In 2032
Just over a year ago, NASA raised the tantalizing possibility that a giant asteroid could strike Earth. Last month, that was updated to say that Earth wasn't going to get hit, but maybe the moon might get ka-boomed by the big rock. Now, the no-fun spoilsports at NASA have released...
