Maybe mr. and mrs. space rocks should do us a favor and hit the planet. Repeatedly. Maybe like The Dinosaur Killer Angle Which May Have Hit Earth At "Deadliest Possible" Angle 66 million years ago. Rob Schwarz does his berry-best to get our hopes up, but there's reason for skepticism about a deep impact.
