Further adventures of ' DOOOM and GLOOOM' ~~~ NEO Discovery Statistics ....

I *seem* to recall that a year or two back, NASA ( ... or whoever ) was
suggesting that the rate of discovery of large NEO's was slowing
because the knowledge of the population as a whole was becoming
saturated ...

Looking at the latest discovery statistics, *casually*, I wonder if
that earlier claim was premature.

Cordially,
