Hi All, Is this a real document? I want to attend the event but not if it’s going to be so dangerous my life may be at risk. Are we at risk of being struck by meteors?
Thanks, Rachel

Hi Rachel, I get your concern, but looking at statistics, you have nothing at all to fear. More than 99% of meteors burn up long before they hit the Earth, and even those that take longer usually burn up before impact. To put it in perspective, you had a higher chance of winning that $2 billion Powerball jackpot than getting hit by a meteor.
So, long story short, no. You will most certainly not get hit by any meteors, I promise. 😊 Besides, it’ll be a great time! It’s very dark out there.

Rachel,
It is just a bureaucratic CYA attempt to stave off any potential litigation against them.
