The information about the asteroid has not been fully tested - I saw that it is reassuring. But if the message someone left here is correct, you should give a short message.
NASA is doing important work - and is the leading agency in research today. For example, a warning about asteroids - and there is a place here to give an article about the asteroid that is expected for us on March 11, 2016, I heard about 50 meters in diameter right at the edge of the atmosphere.
On the other hand, all NASA has been doing in recent years is to close projects on the one hand and on the other hand not to create a global coalition that will produce the journey to Mars in order not to distribute priceless knowledge and maintain the superiority of a country with 250 million inhabitants over a growing country with 1.25 billion inhabitants. Natural, according to game theory, but not necessarily for the benefit of humanity.
