For the "near miss" comets, I open the front and back doors of the house and observe the comet as it passes through my living room.

Ditto for "low flier" satellites.

I can see the post-impact press briefing given by NASA...

"Um... okay... well, it turns out that we -- heh heh -- screwed up our calculations. One of our offshore 'partners' forgot to convert from metric to U.S. ... and they also forgot to carry the two..."

You know that first scene in Star Wars where the Imperial cruiser goes right over your head?

It's gonna be like that, but with less Star Wars and more Giant Rock of Death.

Yes, they do.

I wasn't thinking about handling it - I play Fallout still on occasion. Just wanting a quick, violent end at that moment.
