I don't think It will be then end of the world... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/99942_Apophis

 

I do believe that it will have a big change in the earths climate for a few months if it does hit the earth. I may not even affect all of the world either.

Story ended up being wrong anyways

The story you post said

a German schoolboy has recalculated the likelihood of a deadly planet-smasher asteroid hitting the Earth, and found the catastrophe is enormously more likely than NASA thought

 

Wow, really? Try reading past the first line:

There's only one problem with the story: the kid's sums are in fact wrong, NASA's are right, and the ESA swear blind they never said any different. An ESA spokesman in Germany told the Reg this morning: "A small boy did do these calculations, but he made a mistake... NASA's figures are correct."
This thread is more than a year old. Please don't revive it unless you have something important to add.
