If the 10 kilometer wide asteroid that hit the Earth 66 million years ago hit just a few minutes later, would the outcome of the living creatures here have been different?

Correction:
1:15 It wouldn't have made a difference for this guy! Stegosaurus had been extinct for millions of years when the asteroid hit. SciShow regrets this error.
