Agreed. But given the enormous expense involved in constructing a private Asteroid defence system, what would the motivation be for the private organisation(s) involved?
- dnautics 13y agoi don't know. Living to see another day? And long before the threat of impact - feeling good about contributing to something positive for the Earth? I don't understand this obsession with the neoliberal idea that money is the sole driving motivation for everyone in the world - and I'm worried that it's going to be a self-fulfilling model. Just FYI, there already is a private foundation that is trying to do this very thing: http://b612foundation.org/ http://b612foundation.org/

- dnautics 13y agothankfully, not everyone on this planet is as morally bankrupt as you, nor does charity require full participation of the populace to function adequately.

If your views are to prevail, I eagerly await the universe's judgement, sentence, and punishment, for the human race is irredeemable.
