I'd say they ought to be returned by 12 o'clock on Saturday. And if they're not returned - all of them, not in dribs and drabs, not two and one and three and four and two - by Saturday at 12 o'clock.

While the odds of Bennu impacting Earth may sound alarming, they're not entirely unexpected. "On average, medium-sized asteroids collide with Earth about every 100–200 thousand years.

Scientists have confirmed the presence of organic molecules on the surface of the near-Earth asteroid Bennu, opening the door to the possibility that life on Earth arose from cosmic origins.

Scientists can be sadistic people at times. Now, they’ve simulated what will happen to us all if Bennu, a hill-sized piece of space rock, indeed does end up colliding with Earth. You’ve ...
