Time to buy a few years' supply of MREs? :D

If an asteroid ever becomes and imminent threat, it is going to be the military/space super powers of the world who will be doing something about it.

Probably the U.S, Britain, France, Japan, Russia, and maybe China. I see the five permenent members of the UN security council, and that is about it. I would leave it up to these countries, not the entire UN.

Yeah, this would probably be a good investment in the future. It always seemed like science fiction until that one hit jupiter a few years ago...

If you don't think asteroid defense is a real issue, take a look at this picture. The bright spot (the impact site) is larger than the planet earth :eek: :eek: :eek:

I DO think it's a valid issue. We can fight, carry on, and destroy the environment all we want, but one big rock can pulverize us into space dust.

Makes me think of the movie Armageddan. Bruce Willis will save the DAY!!!!!!!!!
