R<\/span>ecently, an asteroid said to be the size of the Eiffel Tower, though with fewer observation platforms and shorter lines, entered then passed Earth\u2019s orbital path. And while NASA said the asteroid was roughly 2.4 million miles away\u2014about 10 times the distance between the Earth and the moon, even if traffic is light\u2014the agency still considered it a “near-Earth object.”<\/p>\n

Evidently, it doesn’t take much to qualify as one of those. A comet, asteroid or Jeff Bezos is classified as “near-Earth” when coming within 30 million miles (or fewer) of our orbit.<\/p>\n

Just when I was getting over my fear of contracting the newest variant of the Omicron variant this happened! Well, we’re Americans. We face our problems head-on (unless they involve hunger, homelessness, infrastructure, racism and traitors). So here are some things to do in preparation for the next time a meteor appears poised to hit earth:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Invest in meteor futures (NYSE: kaboom)<\/li>\n
  2. Don\u2019t put off the re-roofing job any longer.<\/li>\n
  3. Don\u2019t start installing solar panels.<\/li>\n
  4. Shore up the slats in the bed you intend to hide under.<\/li>\n
  5. Don\u2019t open your sunroof while driving, no matter how zephyr-like the breeze feels.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
