Do not be quiet in this moment.

It’s gonna be too little, too late. We need that asteroid NOW
At the moment, mansion-sized Asteroid 2024-YR4 has a one-in-fifty chance of hitting Earth in the next eight years.

After spending the last year and a half traveling full time, we've decided to settle down. We officially closed on our new (to us) house and are moving tomorrow. We're excited to have a place we can really enjoy and call home, and we're looking forward to spending more time with the family we chose.
