[ WP ] You are a spaceman watching the destruction of Earth below you , what are your final thoughts ?

It was still spinning. 
 
 Across Asia a wall of water was steadily making its way northwest, toward Russia, a super-massive typhoon that could n't even be calculated a strength level. You could no longer see the continent of Africa for the violent vortex that blanketed its entirety. And across the pond, back on the Americas a wave of molten fire spread outward from the Midwest of the US as a plume of black choked the atmosphere from Canada to Brazil. 
 
 It was literally Hell on Earth. All from a single asteroid. 
 
 Its course had been tracked for a while, but no one expected it to suddenly turn out of nowhere. The chances of that happening were 0.000000001 %, so no wonder it was n't. But when it hit, boy did it. 
 
 There was no time to evade it or destroy it. It simply plowed through the ISS, tore a hole straight through the atmospheric layers, and splashed down smack dab in the Ring of Fire. All manner of Earthly cataclysm ensued, ripping all of humanity a great gaping new one. 
 
 And that's how he had ended up the last man watching the show. Repairs were due to the solar sail, and he had volunteered. He loved it out here, in the open space with all the celestial bodies around him. 
 
 But when the asteroid came it took his safe zone with it. 
 
 Now all he had left to do was watch, and wait for his air to die. It would n't be long now, he'd been out here at least four hours, and the reserves only held five. 
 
 He could n't help noting that even though down there the world was ending, it was still spinning. Practically everything would be or had been already wiped out. But he had hope. 
 
 As long as the Earth kept spinning there was hope; hope for another day, another species rising in another few millennia.
