Cover of Newsweek this past year. And no, this is not an metaphor for Global Warming, they actually proposed this dilemma at a space conference last April. The title of the Newsweek article is:
We Can Save Ourselves From Earth-Killing Asteroids, But Someone Has to Pay
The article continues:
NASA’s Johnson says the exercise proved to him that humans can mount an asteroid response—and it can be affordable
Can be “affordable?” How stupid are we? If an asteroid is going to destroy Earth, you just pay for it! Duh.
