The underground bunker idea make me think about the line from the USAF General (George C. Scott) in the movie "Dr. Strangelove," where they are talking about having people underground to survive the coming nuclear holocaust, and he's worried about a "mineshaft gap" between the capabilities of the U.S. and the Soviets.
Funny thing about that SAC (Strategic Air Command) had a B-52 base in Loring Maine that was completely underground except for two admin buildings the control tower and the barracks. The planes actually launched from underground and were at take off speed when they came to the surface. I had relatives that worked on the base when it was being made, and some that were stationed there when it was still in operation. Loring used to have a sign when you came into town that said "Welcome to Loring Maine. Home of the world's biggest bombers and best potatoes".

DSA/dnc IS the enemy. Want proof, just look at California and watch Virginia.

Here, but occasionally There.
Yep. In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't have to be all that big to cause a lot of damage, and there are a heck of a lot of them out there in an incredibly huge volume of space. It doesn't help that they're essentially black objects moving against a black background.

Which essentially is part of the reason that I have questions when "scientists" tell us that "x" is "y-number" of years away from the Earth.

Or, that they can tell that "z" is present on planet "ab."

Your examples are a little bit generic, so I can't really tell what you mean? Are you talking about how they say, f'rinstance, that Proxima Centauri is 2.44 light years from Earth, or do you mean "we only have 12 years before AOC's skull collapses into even more of a black hole, killing us all?"

I'd vote for B as it is highly more likely than A.

This reminds me of the guy that once asked me, "if an airplane is about to crash and just before it hits the ground you jump, will you be hurt in the crash?" And the answer is......

God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
As it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
If I surrender to His Will;
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life
And supremely happy with Him
Forever and ever in the next.
Amen.

Looks to me that you'll just be on the top of the heap in the hole in the ground that the plane just made. So, no. You'll be hurt on the crash.
