I had some problems with asteroids a few years back but they went away. Probably because I kept eating hot pepper (afterburner effect?).

Great idea.

I fully support the basic concept, though I don’t think the current people at NASA will get the job done. That’ll have to wait until we have an American administration in place again.

I doubt there’s anything we could do about an asteroid of significant size or comet that’s going to hit us. I guess it doesn’t hurt to start thinking about solutions though. We can’t even begin to do something about it until we really try. I believe one of the biggest problems we would face could be real world testing. Comets and asteroids can vary in many ways, and it isn’t like we have anything coming close to us that we could use for ‘target practice’.

I wonder if ‘they’ would even tell us if one was coming. I tend to doubt it. The governments won’t even be honest with us about the problems we face down here.

How has the Earth made it all of those 4.5 billion years without a Planetary Defense Coordination Office? I know, there’ve been a few mass extinctions along the way but what do you expect?

Besides, NASA is much too busy doing Muslim outreach...can’t be bothered.

What a waste of resources. The Marxists tell us that history is programmed (though not by anyone) to end in a static utopia that lasts for all eternity. Obviously this means that no asteroid is capable of striking the earth, since that would prevent this from happening.

The sun won't burn out either. What would become of "social justice?" [/sarcasm]

Anthropogenic Asteroids!
