Easterbrook in Atlantic Monthly - NASA Not Preventing Possible Space Rock Catastrophe

[edo783]

I know it would be more interesting to try that sort of thing, but I look at it as having to learn how to walk first and I think that is what NASA is doing. Lets get it down by hitting a target that is relatively close, you pretty much know where it will be before trying to figure out how to hit things that are a bit further away, smaller and somewhat more random in location. Also, the moon would make a pretty good jumping off point from a facility there to do just what is asked.
