Russia calls for International Anti-Asteroid Defense System.

Yeah, so Russia is alarmed because of that asteroid which passed by today and because a meteor crashed into Russia yesterday. There's also the Tunguska Event when a meteor blew up in midair over Russia in 1908. I support this, an anti-asteroid system is the first step to having orbital defense grids and militarized spaceships against hostile extra-terrestrial forces. Any thoughts?

  • We don't have the technology to accurately track all asteroids of such a small size as the one that his Russia, let alone the sophisticated targeting systems to do anything about asteroids that actually do get detected. Without belittling the cost of human life, it's financially and logistically unfeasible to pursue that technology.
