3031 MAY ARRIVE EARLY..

Part of the main premise of Project Sword as featured in the annual is that a massive global killer asteroid collides with Earth in the year 3031. Unfortunately for us, life may actually imitate art. A report published in the Icarus Journal suggests that:

The total impact probability of asteroid RQ36′ can be estimated in 0.00092 – approximately one-in-a-thousand chance , but what is most surprising is that over half of this chance corresponds to the year 2182.  The Virtual Impactors (VIs) have been searched which are are sets of statistical uncertainty leading to collisions with the Earth on different dates of the XXII century. Two VIs appear in 2182 with more than half the chance of impact. Asteroid RQ36′ is part of the Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHA), which have the possibility of hitting the Earth due to the closeness of their orbits, and they may cause damages. This PHA was discovered in 1999 and has around 560 meters in diameter.

So don't buy and LP's...
