Why would we deal with asteroids when we can't even deal with globally warming, which is actually happening now.

- XorNot 5y agoBecause the skillset and technology required for asteroid intercept is quite different to anthropogenic climate change remediation, and we can and should do both to take full advantage of the interests and aptitudes of each generation? Fortunately we actually are doing quite a lot about asteroids, since our sky coverage of possible planet-killers is good enough to have reasonable confidence we'd get some warning. The rest is going to be a product of cheap commercial rocketry.
