"A 300-meter-wide asteroid, Apophis will fly by Earth at a distance of 14.5 million km on Wednesday. Right now, this space traveller poses no imminent threat to our planet. However it is expected to make a series of comebacks in the future." ~ Catherine Laplace-Builhe quoting Voice of Russia, RIA
"In April 2029 Apophis will whizz past only 36,000 km away, and in 2036 it may hit Earth. According to NASA scientists the gravitational keyhole it may pass through in 2029 would change the asteroid's orbit, reducing Earth's chances to miss the dangerous rendez-vous seven years later to a vitrual zero." ~ Catherine Laplace-Builhe quoting Voice of Russia, RIA
"Russian scientists plan to send out a radio beacon to plot the asteroid’s orbit and figure out the possibility of a potentially catastrophic collision. But the mission to "bell" the space body, named after an Ancient Egyptian demon, will only be given a go-ahead after 2020." ~ Catherine Laplace-Builhe quoting Voice of Russia, RIA
"We seriously need to harness a few of these to revolve around the sun within safe proximity of Earth and fix them with engines or some sort of propulsion to use as intercepting obstacles against asteroids etc. that do head for Earth in the future. A little security precaution for 2036 etc.. " ~ David Jeffrey Spetch quoting himself
I do realize that the asteroid already passed this time around but decided to keep the quotes
