I have to say that this should be a world shared cost not a NASA only cost.

And who knows by how many thousand years it will finish?Look at SETI.No practical use for present generation at least.

Huge difference between SETI and this. This is like trying to turn in unfinished homework. SETI would be like trying to find that one student in that one school on the other side of the world with a fuzzy picture and a rusty bike for transportation. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <em>"<font color="#333399">An organism at war with itself is a doomed organism." - Carl Sagan</font></em> </div>

Seti is like trying to find a neddle in the haystack, this is like trying to find thousands of needles in the haystack do to the proximity!!

The asteroid search has not stopped; for one thing, NASA is not the only organization looking at the heavens, although they do provide a good central gathering house for the information. What NASA has said with this report is that they cannot do a proper job of it without better funding. They've actually been saying that for years; the news media seem to have only just now paid attention. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#666699"><em>"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly . . . timey wimey . . . stuff."</em>  -- The Tenth Doctor, "Blink"</font></p> </div>
