In American movies, there are two ultimate rules: 1. Asteroid and aliens only attack the U.S. and 2. The main character never dies. Right now, there is an asteroid falling toward Washington D.C. straight down from the sky at 1500m/sec rate. At this rate, the asteroid will hit the ground of the city after 10 seconds. Meanwhile, Superman is attempting to save the capital by flying toward the asteroid from the left. He flies starting from the base floor of the newspaper company he works at, 3km from the asteroid’s landing point, at 500m/s. He wants to catch the asteroid right before it crashes to

In American movies, there are two ultimate rules: 1. Asteroid and aliens only attack the U.S. and 2. The main character never dies.
