btaf45How many scary asteroids really go past Earth every year?
So just a 1 in 20 chance for an undetected asteroid with 1km diameter that could cause global civilization collapse.
This is fine. /s
On a serious note, it will probably take an actual asteroid hitting a city for governments to invest more into asteroid detection and defense
Unfortunately true. The only way to get humans to collectively want to deal with space is a threat from space. Once life’s are threatened all of a sudden it’s a fast track to build defenses and bases to protect humanity. Honestly if it means allowing some humans to die to allow humanity to live longer than so be it 🤷. After all the end goal is to not go extinct.
Yeah. Unfortunately then it will be too late.
It’s not like we don’t know from evidence that there have been multiple mass extinctions due to asteroids
