Asteroid Misses

   I was just sitting in my Comm. Arts class when my teacher told us about the astroid that barely missed Earth.  Apparently it was the kind of meteor that had taken out the dinosaurs.  The astroid also just missed the moon, which would have messed up the tides, and possibly caused a tsunami.
  My first reaction to this statement was slightly shocked, because of how close it was  to killing us all.  Then, I felt a mixture of relief and slight worry about how it did miss, but according to some scientists we are due for an asteroid.
   The asteroid just shows how much easier it would be to destroy us all than we'd expect.  A big enough asteroid could cause an Ice Age, mess wit the tides, and mess with us.  It's actually very frightening.
