Scientists have determined that there is a one in 75 chance that an asteroid will hit Mars on January 30th.

The asteroid is similar in size to the Tunguska asteroid/meteor that hit Siberia in 1908.  It would leave an impact crater of similar size to Arizona’s Meteor Crater.  The event will not endanger Earth or the future of humanity.

Personally, I’m hoping for a direct hit.
