We absolutely must have a strong precense in space. City-killing asteroids can come at any moment. The last known one was in 1908.
The problem today is all of our resources are spent on:
1. Extravagant lifestyles of thieves who are connected to our politicians.
2. Keeping most of the population stupid, lazy and distracted with bread/circuses to figure it out.
3. A vast militarized police force and surveillance state to keep producers/slaves disarmed and serving the thieves.
See... here’s where we’re going to disagree. I’m not concerned about city killing asteroids. We know without a doubt that it’s going to happen, in a big way. It is part of prophecy that will be fulfilled. There is not one thing we can do about it. It will happen in the course of time, according to God’s word. So we should spend our money on something besides trying to protect our planet from asteroids. Really, we should just give the money back to the tax payers and rest in God’s will.
