If they want to sink billions and trillions into some space program, then they should redefine the purpose and turn it into a
meteor defence system. Statistically, the next mega-killing impact rubbing most life forms off this planet, is overdue since long.
So is the next big quake in the San Andreas area.
And the big eruption of the sooperdoopervulcano at Yellowstone.
On the other hand, these things would end the financial and economic crisis and nullify debts and negative budgets, it would also give the debate about global climate change a completly new direction.
So maybe better no meteor defence system then.
