We missed a chance to whack this asteroid in a test of our anti-satellite/bombs from orbit.

Who the hell was in charge of this fiasco?

A successful destruction of an small asteroid would send chills down the legs of the Russians, Red Chinese, No. Koreans and Iranians because it would show that we can take down their satellites, rockets, etc. if they attacked.

Come on NORAD, etc. Get with the program and blow up something. “In space, nobody cares”.
