Astronomers have been closely monitoring Bennu, which swings close to Earth every six years. However, the real cause for concern arises from the possibility that on September 24, 2182, Bennu could collide with our planet with a force equivalent to 22 atomic bombs. While the odds of such a catastrophic strike are estimated at 1 in 2,700, NASA is not taking any chances.

    Afterwards we discover that Bennu housed an alien species, far more advanced but peaceful isolationists. Well, until we blew their home up.

      Good. At least we won’t have to worry about retaliation, dead and peaceful means we’re double safe.

        That’d be on Titan tho, rather than some asteroid

        160 years ago, NASA already stole some of their rocks. Now, they’re back for revenge. Written by Google’s Chat-GPT 14 and directed by the MPAA, Midjourney’s Bruce Willis stars in the latest Amazon production: Bennu There Done That. Sponsored by McDonald’s and available exclusively on Hulu.
