For a second I thought the title was implying that they were giving the "all clear" TO the asteroid, like, "all good, we won't stop you if you wanna destroy us all." And it didn't even stand out to me as an especially crazy headline considering all the other shit I've been seeing lately.
> they were giving the "all clear" TO the asteroid, like, "all good, we won't stop you if you wanna destroy us all."

That would be pretty based but understandable after all the cutbacks being thrown at them.

Now they will lay the asteroid guy off.
Maybe he already was and this is a Don’t Look Up situation.
Pandemic scientists were laid off, so I don’t think this is even a joke.
