Or just go and see what might happen to us, in 2029;
A little excerpt from the link below:
"The Asteroid Threat is Out There
More than 100,000 asteroids hurtle past our planet. But only one--that we know of--may hit us in the next 30 years."
The "asteroid impact would cost $400 billion in infrastructure damage alone".......Or about as much as the cost of the Iraq war.
"If NASA eventually does get the nod -- and more important, the budget -- from Congress, the obvious first move would be a reconnaissance mission to Apophis. Schweickart estimates that "even gold-plated at JPL," a transponder-equipped gravity tractor could be launched for $250 million. Ironically, that's almost precisely the cost of making the cosmic-collision movies Armageddon and Deep Impact. If Hollywood can pony up a quarter of a billion in the name of defending our planet, why can't Congress?"
