When planet Earth next gets hit by a bloody great big meteorite causing another Ice Age, thanks to modern satellites and telescopes we’ll get about 30 years notice - apparently.That’s thirty years to design, build and launch a rocket off to the offending lump in order to deflect it or move the population where it’s going to hit (meteorites up to the size of a Ford Transit van only) or live life to the max pre global conflagration (meteorites larger than a Ford Transit van).
Based upon recent efforts by NASA it’s not looking good on the deflection front and moving to Pangbourne won’t safeguard you from an ice age so enjoy your last thirty years like they’re your last.
