Aren’t you the smart one!

You know how dinosaurs became extinct, AND you know how to alter the orbit of an asteroid or you think some clowns in government do.

NASA was told it was to be able to identify 90% of such objects by 2020.

It can only identify 40% of such objects.

Total fail.

We are so f&^^%$.

Yes, if they "work" for the government, though I'm not sure what a physicist would have to do with diverting asteroids. (I have a minor in Physics, BTW.)
