The problem with the really big geological events is that they have no safe observation distance anywhere on Earth. I mean, I'd love to see a 3 mile asteroid strike the Earth, just for the sake of observing so many cascading disaster effects...... so long as I could do it from space, while viewing an alternate version of the Earth, in which I don't have to live afterwards.
