Russell “Rusty” Schweickart, an aerospace engineer retired astronaut who flew on the Apollo 9 mission, says there is a solution in waiting for this problem: NASA can launch the Near-Earth Object Camera (NEOCam), which is a small infrared observatory, into space.
You know what this means: a bunch of Xtianist rednecks will be invited to a televised ceremony on the White House lawn where they will smash the NEOCam to atoms with various heavy implements.
