The latest asteroid to maybe hit Earth is going to be Asteroid 2003 QQ47. Right now they're putting the odds at 1 in 909,000 it'll hit the Earth. Every time this happens, there's a brief flurry of interest and then people forget about it again.

I wonder what kind of odds it'll take for people to get really interested in the threat of asteroids?
