Thats what you get for electing Democrats.

I had some problems with the site so I could`nt post this earlier.
The original NASA release (from 2005} this guy got his info from appears to be this one.
http://impact.arc.nasa.gov/news_detail.cfm?ID=165
NASA`s risk assessment on the chances of an impact from this body is here.

Dont worry people, we are all safe. NASA may land a transponder on the body in a few years, provided they get the funding!

The next close-ish shave - at a mere 17 times the distance from the Sun to the Earth - will be asteroid 2004QD14 on November 29.
That has to be a mistake. I think the writer meant between the Earth and the Moon. The distance from the Earth to the Sun is called an Astronomical Unit ( AU ), or about 93 Million Miles. 17x93 million = no where NEAR Earth. Even on the cosmological scale. Best I can find, our rock in question is, at its furthest point, just over *AU 1 distance from Earth.
So, it's definatly in our neighborhood. Along with thousands of other meteors.
* 2004QD14
Aphelion = (AU) 1.2619

Nope, just sloppy journalism to create a sensationalistic story as usual. He seems to be confusing data from several different objects and clearly hasnt a clue what he`s talking about.
The real story is in the NASA links I posted earlier which is that the MAXIMUM probability that Apophis (wonder if the person who named it was an SG1 fan) might hit in 2036 is about 20%.
And thats assuming all the worst projections are correct and the asteroid hits the peturbation keyhole in 2029.
As NEO`s go its not even the most likely candidate for an impact, I`d be more worried about an object called 2004 VD7 which has a much higher chance of hitting sometime in 2102!
