That’s where we live, on one of the targets in the shooting gallery referred to as the solar system. Fortunately we’re a very small target. Nevertheless:
“The sensor readings show that 26 explosions more powerful than a kiloton of TNT have been detected since 2001, ‘all of which are due to asteroid impacts,’ said former astronaut Ed Lu, the foundation’s CEO.”
Meanwhile, our political hacks mainly work on stuff for which they can collect get-rich-quick bribes. And they whack the space budget because the rube-preoccupied masses ain’t much interested in space anymore. So, one of these days…
UPDATE: Those 26 together didn’t come close to equaling this one, which would get everyone’s attention. If anyone was left to pay attention.
MORE: Russia seems to be seeing more than most countries and Lu & Co. plan to build and launch a telescope for advance warning.
THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER 
Doesn’t it add some spice to our lives?
I could do without the spice of one landing near me.
