Do n’t worry , family line : Our trusted representative in government just saw the motion-picture show Armageddon , and they are n’t going to take the scourge posture by this middling 1998 action motion-picture show lying down . They ’re blend to pass laws to check that we ’re fain to confront any asteroid - related menace without having to send a bunch of crude oil drillers into blank .
The House of Representatives just guide eyeshade H.R. 6063 , direct NASA to total up with design for a gimcrack missionary station to send a craft to the Apophis asteroid to attach a trailing gadget . Apophis is on route to descend closer to Earth than geostational artificial satellite in 2029 , and if it reek into the satellite we ’d be a little bit cheat .
In gain to make up near attention to Apophis , the flier need the Director of the White House ’s Office of Science and Technology Policy to come up with a policy for send word Union agencies and other exigency reception groups of an at hand near - world object terror . Hopefully they ’ll arrive up with good plans than whatever it is they have enacted for natural disaster now , because their course disk does n’t really inspire confidence . [ KurzweilAI ]
