This NASA graphic shows the orbits of all the known Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHAs) .. ,p>so far up to over 1,300
We have about as much chance of doing this as we do of stopping Climate Change and the tides coming and going.
Oops! Wrong roids!!
Have “scientists” decided that they’ve gotten just about all the unconstitutional federal earmarks that they can expect from global warming alarmism and are trying to establish asteroid defense as their next PC excuse for earmarks?
Its too bad that asteroid defense alarmists didn’t see this situation coming before Obama deactivated NASA. But maybe Obama has some unconstitutional stimulus funds left over for unconstitutional NASA.
I was expecting an earth shattering KA BOOM.....!
If we can’t do something as simple as stop socialism, what makes anyone think we can battle asteroids?
Another backdoor attempt to usurp America’s rights and money.
First we had better engage in a global effort to defend Earth from owebama.
God has been throwing rocks at us for 4.7 billion years and nobody has stopped one yet. not a matter of if but when.
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.
The punch that gets you is the one you never see coming.
