What do you guys think of them passing by or NASA mission to crash into one this December?

There are two ways to see this:
1--Science--According to NASA, of the next 5 asteroids coming near us, 3 of them are much less than 82ft in size which means IF they come to Earth, they will likely burn up in our atmosphere. The remaining 2 are 160ft and 380ft in size, but are both over 3 million miles away. This means they are EXTREMELY unlikely to hit Earth, but IF they did "it would likely cause local damage to the impact area" according to NASA.

2--Slightly Less Sciencey--OMFG a fleet of asteroids is going to rain death upon us all in a global extinction-level event!!! I didn't want to make this proclamation lightly so I called Greta first and she says it's 10,000,000,000% true! We have but one hope for survival: we have to climb to the top of a tall building, put on our tinfoil hats and use the sun reflecting from them to signal the alien mothership to come pick us up ASAP!!!
It may take time for intelligent life to get here, and we may have to survive an asteroid attack before they arrive, so bring a blanket and if you see one coming then for love of God be sure to DUCK AND COVER!!!! Even more concerning is the stress caused by these dark times. Therefore, we MUST construct an apocalyptic stress relief room with kittens and coloring books or the stress might kill us before the asteroids do. I know what you're thinking: but won't the fiery balls of flaming death raining from the sky destroy the kittens and coloring books? No problem! We'll equip the kittens with silver colored heat radiation suits plus use coloring book pages made from asbestos fibers and deal with the mesothelioma later.
It all comes down to who do you trust: a bunch of dumb PhD science geeks at NASA or the word of Greta the Gaia Goddess? I know I'll be going with option #2! Who wants to grab their tinfoil hats and join me on the roof?
