NASA budget increases due to asteroid threat BY SPACE · OCTOBER 18, 2018
The Trump administration proposed tripling the budget for the NASA Planetary Defense Coordination Office.
The US budget is bursting at the seams, it is already stretched to the maximum. But Washington is ready to incur additional costs to deal with the threat from space.
The Trump administration intends to nearly increase the budget of the NASA space agency, from $ 60 to $ 150 million. And this is due to the fact that humanity is completely unprepared for the fall of a giant asteroid on earth.
