Which political party will do a better job of funding the kind of amateur and professional sky search work that needs to be done to identify new, potentially dangerous asteroids and comets? There has been especially a lack of trained observers for the Southern Hemisphere. See “Impact Earth: Asteroids, Comets and Meteoroids; The Growing Threat”, by Austen Atkinson, 1999, if this issue interests or is of concern to you.
I don’t know about all that, but I know Obama! can Make Change! with is mighty mind and huge heart!
All he will need to do once he is properly installed as our new Emperor is to speak truth to power and banish all bad things! Even bad space things!
Ooohmmm Obama! Many Changes Ooohmmm.
PS, not really.
This space rock type cat-a**-trophy (apps to Piers Anthony and The Magic of Zanth) stuff is very interesting to me, if that matters any. I don’t see how we can actually do anything about any of it, even if we do see a rock heading our way, but then again, there’s lots I don’t know so maybe we’ve got Space Rock Zappers already in the inventory.
