Would asking for it to both hit the Earth and for me to be right below the impact zone be asking too much?

Unless you are a terrible person, yes.

If it falls on a joint meeting of Trump and Putin who once again decided to have a meeting to discuss Ukraine without Ukraine that should be fantastic, and not at all asking too much. Hopeful musk is hanging out with bezos and Netanyahu and Xi are talking too. Really not asking enough if you think about it
