You needed to include some of that interesting info as "bait" to get people interested. "Impact effects that inform warning" or whatever, doesn't really mean much to me...cause I don't really know what it means. But anyway, yeah, it looks boring the way you presented it.

Did a scientist say something interesting? Did they say they expect a catastrophic impact in less than 59 years if something is not done? Did they devise any new, cool ways to deal with potential impactors? Any mention of UFOs, aliens, or ancient civilizations? Any new evidence for ANYTHING presented? I mean, cmon man, you gotta throw me a bone here... something to get me salivating. I don't have time to spend an hour or more just for a "maybe". I need to know there's definitely something in there that I want to hear about...
