Really interesting article. Wish Myhrvold's research had been available in 2013, seemingly the last time the Senate Commerce, Science, & Transportation Committee (jurisdiction over civilian space issues, i.e. NASA) had a hearing on space threats like asteroids. https://www.commerce.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/hearings?ID=11933343-6109-4E2D-8EE6-73CDAE02A849 https://www.commerce.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/hearings?ID... The hearing featured Dr. Ed Lu, who leads the B612 Foundation, that's trying to launch their own satellite for observing city-killer asteroids (remember Chelyabinsk?). But I haven't seen any news about their work in years... Glad others are taking a look as well.
