    Now I’m not some fancy science-man, but I do reckon that an impact of that magnitude would propel massive chunks of Earth debris in every direction at incredible speeds. Odds seem fairly well even that you’d get your own little impact death pretty well soon after.

      eh…given the distance and the weird orbits it’s gonna take for the debris to actually hit…a few days probably?

      couple of days for the bombardment to hit the surface, and then it’s a game of statistics how long it takes for a direct hit or secondary ejecta to hit your landing site/base.

      probably a better idea to take all the fun pills all at once than to wait for that…

      actually, you can probably simulate this rather well in universe sandbox! ;)
