We have some curious priorities
As reported yesterday, the US is paying more than $20 Billion a year to air condition troops tents in Afghanistan. These troops are there to kill Afghans in support of a corrupt government that is robbing us blind every chance they get. And the amount spent is more than the entire budget of NASA.
Today the Asteroid Watch at NASA informed us that an asteroid the size of a bus will miss the earth, and presumably the space station and other satellites, by a distance of 7500 miles. Pretty damn close in space terms.
Fortunately we can continue to short change NASA and keep killing Afghans until 2022 when the asteroid will probably strike the earth on its next try. Some things are just more important.
