i never understood fighting to protect our world from asteroids only to have us destroy it ourselves

[rmrbush]

We did this already. I can't believe he didn't talk about the DART program where we deflected an asteroid last year as a test. It worked. First try. Need more investment in detection.

She cut him off, lol. “We’ve run out of time, sorry..” lmao

[willardchi]

Well, don't look up. Don't even think about it.

A 150 years is plenty of time for NASA to devise a deflection technique. But government is a different story all together. They may need 300 years to pass legislation to do it.

You know. Whose state will this component be developed by. Which Universities get the funding. And after each election cycle, what ever Congressman or Senator get elected may have a different plan. It's a who gets credit thing.

Neil is suffering from relevance deprivation, a new hobby horse to ride instead of being a real sci9entist and publishing to get feedback on peer reviews.
