Asteroid impact events represent one of the most catastrophic scenarios in planetary geology, with the Chicxulub impact 66 million years ago serving as the canonical example of extinction-level consequence. NASA tracks near-Earth objects continuously, and the probability of a civilization-ending collision is calculated and recalculated. Yet the statement shifts responsibility not to gravitational mechanics or orbital mechanics but to fear: asteroids are 'scared' to impact Earth. This positions impact avoidance as a psychological phenomenon rather than a physical one, suggesting that survival depends not on deflection technology but on intimidation—on maintaining a credible threat sufficient to make celestial objects nervous.
