This article is about Nasa and their current fear of Asteroids and the earth's imminent danger that it is not prepared for, the article talks about Nasa's fears of asteroids being justified by nearby space bodies that are large enough to cause devastation to the earth, and it also talks about the earth's current technology that could destroy the threat of an asteroid, such as a cannonball to destroy it with kinetic energy, the problem is the construction and funding of these defence systems are not being looked into by the government.
In my opinion this issue is far more important than people are giving the attention for it, an asteroid hit could potentially end all life as we know it and it is a very real threat, yet important science related news like this, including endangered animals, and deathly climate change, is swamped over less meaningful that people apparently care more about than the safety of where they live, its an unusual but also sad truth of media and what it focuses on.
