Why don’t they teach us about the unicorn era in schools? They are hiding everything from us!

Hey, these things take time. Asteroids are really large and it’s hard to get them to change direction.
depends on its size, composition, and speed. a 10km asteroid, mostly iron is what caused the KPG extinction. being iron it would generate alot more destructive energy than a rocky or a comet.

What for? Humanity is either going to cause a mass extinction and life on earth will yet again emerge from it after a few million years OR humanity somehow manages to achieve post scarcity and sustainability and I for one would be thrilled to look 10,000 years into the future and see our path.

Unfortunately i think we’re at a point where even a dinosaur-killing level asteroid wouldn’t fully wipe us out. Like there are people in Cheyenne mountain 24/7 which iirc is designed to withstand a direct nuke hit and has supplies to last for years, including food, energy, and oxygen. And after that life would be a massive struggle, but if any life survived after that then we would probably survive too
