Tough. That's what you get for living in a cosmos that isn't even aware of your existence and wouldn't give a flying fox even if it was.
And it's 'meteorite', not meteor, in the context you're using. Meteors originate from cometary debris and are totally harmless, being the term for the flash of light as they burn up in the atmosphere. Meteorites are chunks of rock and iron originating principally from asteroids, or less commonly from other rocky planets. The two words are not interchangeable; though since you've a proven track record of distorting every other combination of scientific terms in a hideously Frankenstein fashion, I can't say I'm surprised at this point.
