  1. This is a much more serious threat than global warming could ever claim to be. It isn’t a question of if a really big asteroid will hit us, but when. The dinosaurs didn’t make rockets.

  2. Too bad bird choppers weren’t funded with donations from rock concerts. $400 million for a telescope that actually collects real-world (real-space?) data sounds very cheap. The truly hard-core rent seekers would have offered a computer model of asteroid strikes at ten times that cost…

  3. Well on the bright side, for every asteroid that hits there is one less floating around out there.
