Is there any chance that it will be attracted to the SF Bay Area?
I know! Aren't most errant space-bodies primarily composed of ice? Let's heat our planet and atmosphere so we can melt that sucka'!!
Can we send Jimmy Carter to ask it to change course?
No, but we should send him to find out what we did to piss it off.
