The Sky is Falling

After the asteroid exploded last week over Russia, conversations about how to protect ourselves dominated the airwaves.  I'm not sure such efforts would work.  Sing to the tune of The Beatles' "If I Fell":

If the sky fell in on you
Would you know just what to do
Unlike the dinosaurs
Who stood still and were destroyed
By a major asteroid
That fell from the sky.

If we build a giant shield
Can we be sure
We'll protect ourselves
From rocks that glow and streak so bright.

If we study space
Can we predict a hit
Such as Henny Penny did
In warning all her friends
'Cause if not we'll all be toast.
If the sky falls in on us.
