And the really good news is that the collision won&#8217;t occur until April 13, 2029. Man, that&#8217;s a few years of having my worries taken care of.<\/p>\n<p>Now NASA says that this big rock poses no real threat to the Earth, but what do they know?

That&#8217;s closer than the satellites in geosynchronous orbit, like Direct TV and Dish.
