The country will spend $3.1 Billion on candy for Halloween this year...we can afford it.
...see link for an overview of what needs to be done for the project.
btw, it not unreasonable for many other countries to contribute to this global insurance policy

This is actual national defense. It needs to be fully funded.

CC is sucking asteroids in toward us, right?
Tell you what, I approve using some of the trillions already approved for spending on this….nothing new.
Put on a mask of you’re scared.
Not one coherent word

Its coherent. I’m sarcastically ripping you.
1) you idiots have already bankrupted our country over two other Chicken Little scenarios in the immediate past: a) COVID where you fools shut us down for far, far too long without actual scientific evidence that it would help and plenty of evidence it was not necessary, and b) with CC spending that has given us generational inflation again without evidence that it could make any significant difference.
Now you focus on at least more concrete issue, but one that has not afflicted us in the past 63 million yrs. Ask yourself the odds of this preparation, even if successful, and even if we can detect and respond in time… even then of such a program being operational when needed…the odds that our country will even exist by the time needed is exceedingly miniscule.
Now, I know you buy inti this because you watch Ben Affleck movies, so since there is at least the chance here of making a difference unlike your previous Chicken Little scams, I’ll go along with this if you take the money out of your recent spending bill debacles.
I’m laughing at your Chicken Little fear…it is a consistent for you. You will someday though have to confront and accept your mortality without mortgaging seversl future generstions future.
So put on your placebo comfort device (your COVID mask pacifier) and take a deep breath, cuz we havent even touched on the Yellowstone Caldera threat yet which is due anytime in just the next 500,000 yrs!
Agreed.

Congress has mandated NASA with asteroid defense for decades.
Without providing a dime for the mission.
Asteroid target hit, call for trillions more?
