It all depends on where you are.  For me, California is 0 miles away.  I'm somewhat looking forward to the asteroid.  Wonder if there's anyway to speed it up.

I actaully followed up on that cause it just seemed so damn close,..

If you read the follow up comments on that article/post, you will see that someone points out the authors error.  It is not that close after all.
