Why hasn't a killer asteroid or something smashed into Earth and wiped us all out?

Don't forget the brave Russian cosmonaut. It was probably only because Bruce Willis colluded with the Russians that Giant Asteroid 2016 didn't win the election now that I think about it.

Well because one hits about every 70 million years, so do you feel lucky today?
One of the main reasons earth has been able to produce advance life is because we have two giant vacuums in space call Saturn and Jupiter. If we didn't have those two planets maybe life would reset much quicker than the 70 million years and so life would just never get a chance to evolve past simpler levels.

Do you ever feel a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced, and fear something terrible has happened?
Me neither.
Forgive me for what is about to occur in August and do not be immediately alarmed when the US goes to DEFCON 1 (be alarmed only after...)

Okey, I'm game. What is supposed to happen in August? Did I miss something?

It's a simple question.

Did Harry Potter wave his wand or something and say "Avada Kedavra".
It's a simple question. With the amount of rogue bodies whizzing through space in and around our solar system, why haven't we been smashed into smithereens yet?
