Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson explains how NASA deflects the asteroids that are careening toward our planet.
(FOX 'After The Bell' segment opens with NASA TV imagery)
Interviewer:"NASA is tracking multiple asteroids approaching Earth's orbit...at un-imaginable speed! SHOULD WE BE AFRAID OF THESE ASTEROIDS??"
Neil DeGrasse Tyson:
"The Solar System is a shooting gallery....there are rogue asteroids, whose orbit cross the orbit of the Earth.... THEY ARE AN ISSUE....but not a problem PROVIDING we know where they are, can track them, AND how to deflect them."
Poster Comment:
Oooo-kay...I watched this and was thoroughly entertained. You will be as well.
"Astrophysicist" -- what does that job description even mean? The truth: They are so titled (and paid) to be mere "Theorists" of Space, Matter, and Time.
Anyway...
How much do you suppose it would cost NASA to track AND deflect "rogue asteroids" from smashing into the earth, and saving us...like Hollywood disaster flick and scripts we've already seen?
From start to finish this is one strange, theatrical interview and segment. It opens as expected -- with 'NASA TV' imagery.
How much un-believable or flat out lies, disproven sc-fi theories and claims, bogus imagery and scenarios can you count being advanced in this brief interview??

About as much as defending ourselves from global warming, Africanized killer bees, the AIDS epidemic, the Zika virus, the Ebola virus, H5N1 (bird flu), SARS, Mad Cow, acid rain, the ozone hole, Y2K, and a whole bunch other we-are- doomed scares.

Not close.
NASA gets $52,000,000. PER DAY. 365 day a year. EVERY year.
Why should .5% of a budget of Infinity minimize what is a gargantuan $19,000,000,000 budget for...for...what exactly??
It makes me think about my own rational for stealing a car at one of those ports where thousands of cars are just sitting there. And I ask myself -- "They wouldn't miss ONE car, would they?"
A rounding error. Less than what we spend on pizza.
Remind me to never put you in charge of LF's party committee.
When you make a personal budget you include food, housing, utilities, clothing, etc. You also add a small amount for entertainment.
NASA is entertainment. If the budget is out of whack, you're not going to fix it by cutting back on entertainment. Leave me with one reason to appreciate the federal government.
