This is obviously a problem. But while it extremely likely this won’t happen in our lifetime, several mass extinctions have taken place because of comets and asteroids. I’m pretty sure if we don’t have the technology to destroy / deflect it when one finally does set its sights on Earth, the .6% of the federal governments budget we didn’t spend on that research might seem a little silly since the cost could literally be in the billions of lives. Not trying to be a fear monger but the % of the budget is so small it’s not exactly useful to cut their spending until the big spenders have been cleaned up.

Another reminder of this came out earlier this month, when the Fairfax County (Virginia) Economic […]

You can do a lot of marketing for $16 billion.

I am 100% for the continuation of the space exploration, although sometimes i wonder if that money (although its not alot) should be spent on things more close to home. I have been doing research, and there is alot of reasons for and against it. But if you read between the lines, doesnt it seem like America is just trying to look better, and be the best? What are your thoughts?

Even with NASA TV, producers should be brought in to make it interesting for people to watch.
