Did you cogitate thatAres facing delays or cancellationswas unfit ? Well , what about afreaking huge honkin ’ asteroid obliterating Earth , all because NASA does n’t have enough support to track every potentially - lethal object out there ? Yes , precisely my fraking thoughts .
Here ’s the raft : NASA was opine to be track at least 90 percent of all potentially dangerous asteroids by 2020 under the Near Earth Object Program . This was mandated by Congress some prison term ago . decently now , they are on track to discover 90 per centum of all asteroids .6 mil wide this year . However , that leaves a elephantine amount of other objects that , while not as big , are potentially deadly too . Rocks that can take out the entire West Coast of the United States , for example ( hey better Brian and jason , than Matt , John , and I , fine ? )
Well , guess what ? Congress is n’t giving money to NASA to properly fund the political program , so they are not going to meet deadline . And when I say deadline , I also mean lines that can make all of us dead .
In other Good Book , if tomorrow an asteroid hit New York , I will know exactly who is to blame . Of course , we can also charge the euromorons , the Japanese , and every other develop nation who can assist in preventing the total or partial annihilation of humankind . Shortsighted morons , some humans are . [ CNN ]
