Finally ... this is something governments and even the UN should be doing. Unlike global warming the threat of extinction from asteroids IS real. Sooner or later a big rock will be coming our way and it is possible to nudge them out of the way.

H.L. Mencken had it right when he said, “The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”

Exactly. This would be the biggest financial black hole of all time. And of course, the UN would be in charge with Al Bore on a committee. !
