What if the sky falls on us?

They’re around, but we insist in not wanting to see them. Until some day it will be too late and we’re going to get with one in our heads. The Gauls where very right in being afraid that the sky fell on them, at least they were always paying attention. :P

I’m obviously talking about asteroids and the dorment danger , but very real they are for us…

Many times I’v manifested my opinion about this matter and I think that there should be more funding to the search of NEOs. What is done now is not much. There are true assassins up there of which the orbits are not sufficiently known. Others we do not even know that they are there…

The problem is always the same… Not enough funding. Thos who have the money and resources to make more serious and intensive studies of this problema, normally have other economical priorities (such as wars and little wars) or hundreds of cientifical programmes, all needing funding as chickens need corn…
