There's a lot of talk aboot the asteroid #Apophis. Some people are scared it will hit our planet. As Canada's Space Force, we assure you that you are safe! We have a sophisticated plan involving precision lasers that will ensure the safety of Earth - the only planet with Poutine and Nanaimo Bars.

Now that the chances of impact are reducing to next to nothing we can focus on how cool this #asteroid flyby will be! Hopefully space missions can investigate up close like RAMSES for #Apophis... or maybe it will hit the moon which would be fascinating for impact studies! #PlanetSci

Busy day with therapy for my left hand followed by a seasonal doctors visit. A hope to keep up with a lively interpretation of what passes for the real world.
