Re: Not very reassuring, is it
"Well, so much for our capacity to detect them in time."
I agree. In fact, I'm at the point of saying the best idea now might be to turn the problem over to the chaps over at The Grand Tour.
No, I can't imagine what a car-based solution to the early detection of asteroids might look like either, nor how an earth-asteroid collision could be mitigated by anything Team Moron could come up with, but watching them try would at least take everyone's mind off the fact that we are still a galactic black waiting for the cue ball of death to send us into the top right corner bag for seven points.
Thank you so-called "scientists" for wasting time renaming Pluto instead of doing useful space science with a point.
