$50,000 reward to tag an asteroid

The Apophis space rock is set to make a close pass of Earth in 2029. Someone check please now how close it's coming and what effect the close encounter and the gravitational pull of the earth will have on its orbit to bring it in closer for a second shot at us in 2036. Ooooerrr!

You're too late to claim the prize - I've already written to them saying they should cover it in Xmas tree lights.
I haven't actually got my cheque yet. In fact, they haven't even replied. But I'm sure it's in the bag.
When it arrives, I'll buy you all a pint.
