eDont worry plans are being made, a debate has opened, people are seeing where they can fit into the plan. It will happen, we as a species are privelegded to be able to comtemplate such a threat, but remember acting always takes time but action will happen. Already even folk who have read this thread are thinking about it and the ripples will move out in the pond of humanity. The biggest problem humans face is world politics, it could be better but the fact is it is better now than any time in history... and by the time the dust settles humans will probably have to face the threat..how many times have we near been wiped out..mmm nil maybe so this threat is coming for sure. We now live in a time where we can comprehend threats to our species, even though we fight umoungst ourselves we can pull together..this may be the thing to unit us..so how good is that.
Personally I want us to start thinking about battle stars we laugh that they are not needed but who knows and who cares, as to unite to face a common foe as a species must be good for us..We have a sort of loose control on the world and if we set our sights on greater foes we will be drawn together..mm but who wants that...no one? but it must mean humans are moving forward to even have such a possibility.
Lets get hold of that polly prepared to die at the hands of an astoriod and tell him we are concerned and extract a commitment for funding for scopes for everyone to keep a look out.. humans need an enemy why not have one out there not down here.. we dont need to actually have one we just need to think we have.
Now if you are not ready for bed read all that again..sweet dreams.
