Just a warning to all of us Earthlings to be prepared on April 13, 2029 for an asteroid that is due to smash into earth. Yes, warnings like this happen all the time, and even movies have been created to depict this situation, but this time it is for real; I am not a chicken saying the sky is falling, it really is!
So go build fall out shelters, stock pile on food, and brace for impact; this is gonna be big. If the asteroid manages to miss Earth (which NASA predicts it will) Russian scientists have predicted it will go through what is called "gravitational keyhole" and be relined up to impact Earth again on April 13th, 2036. So this really is a good news / bad news situation, bad news we are currently predicted to have an asteroid strike us. Good news there is still plenty of time to get Bruce Willis and his crew from "Armageddon" lined up to start drilling on the football field wide asteroid.

Actually, NASA addressed the problem of this asteroid (officially named 99942 Apophis) and said it will pass by Earth in 2012 or 2013. When it does it will closely observe it and decide its exact trajectory. At that point NASA will either deem the asteroid no problem or it will use a mechanical means to adjust its trajectory. According to the article, NASA claims that unlike the Russian predictions, there is actually a 1 in 250,000 chance that the asteroid can enter Earth's atmosphere.
