Are we even going to be able to see it in the states?

some hearsay said Toutatis have 63% may crash on Earth,how do u think??
and i heard someone said that day is end of the day,alien whom on the Toutatis will attack us

No, Toutatis will not Hit Earth at all. Not for at least another 60 years.

I find it hard to believe that anyone can say it will not hit us in another 60 years.
Toutatis� orbit is so chaotic and it could easily (likely) change, specially over such long timescale as 60 years.

Toutatis does have a very strange cycle...

Take my word for it, you will most probably not encounter any "Earth Catastrophic Asteroid" in your lifetime.

I agree that Toutatis does have a Chaotic Orbit. And his Hard to predict, but that is not saying JPL does not have the technology to plot the paths of Toutatis from now till 60 years time.

Have to agree with you here.
Toutatis will not be an "Earth Catastrophic Asteroid" even if it hit.
But would certainly cause havoc in the area surrounding the "ground zero".
And an "Earth Catastrophic Asteroid" is unlikely in our lifetime.
Not impossible, but unlikely.
