Could congress get their act together? With a real threat
Could congress get their act together? with a real threat
Its may 2013 a asteroid passes right over our country, does some minor damage. It wasnt detected before but tracking on the 5 mile wide asteroid shows it will devastingly impact our world in 2020.. A likely human life ending event..... |

Not a chance in hell, because they're way too busy screwing one another whenever they isn't screwing us. |

In the event of a definite prediction of a hit by such an object in 2020, I'd say that politicians generally would find the will to act. In practice, it would take time to pin down the orbit of a previously undetected object, and the likely initial prediction for 2020 would be "perhaps". If one hypothesises that in reality the object will hit in 2020, the question then becomes one of how long it takes before the astromers have pinned that down with sufficient certainty that congress will not be able to take a wait-and-see approach. The concern is obviously that by the time the certainty crosses the threshold for congressional action, it will then be too late. As an aside, it's going to be a long time before we can deal with extinction-sized objects that come barrelling in from the Oort cloud, having never previously been seen. Sylvia. |

The Oort Cloud isn't the source of them -- they are artifacts of the forces that created the Earth/Moon System and lie in somewhat more elliptical orbits than that of the Earth/Moon. The problem is that their orbital planes intersect ours and may, at some time, result in a collision. |

They aren't going to come from the Oort Cloud unless something major out there disturbs them. |
