I keep running the numbers, as if one more simulation will make the odds less real. Four percent isn’t much, but it’s enough to keep me up at night—enough to make me wonder why I care so much about rocks and orbits when my own life feels like it’s drifting. Everyone’s talking about the asteroid, the satellites, the worst-case scenario. I’m supposed to be excited. Instead, I’m exhausted. I watch the data scroll by, thinking about the thousands of satellites we could lose, the years of work that could vanish in a few days. I wonder if anyone would notice if I disappeared, too. I used to believe every discovery mattered. Now I’m just hoping the next impact isn’t the one that finally knocks me out of orbit. #Science #ScienceFatigue #SpaceAnxiety
