[QUOTE=Run&Gun12;21406985]It annoyed me that Obama tried to stop funding any NASA projects. Commie bastard.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, we need to get the great funding back, as it was during the space race. It's quite a ridiculous little amount nowadays.

Oh man, it's only getting 0.6% of the federal budget. Such a shame.
We need a spacecraft cool enough for all of these new missions.

Got to be made by private companies then. NASA is dropping shuttle missions :argh:
Hopefully Richard Branson will step up. He is probably the only person who is willing, aswell as capable of doing what NASA won't.
We need to build the SS Normandy.
Wouldn't it be cool to fly up to an asteroid, shine your light on it and what do you see? a Dinosaur fossil
Oh god imagine if they get up there and test out the device that will shift where it's headed and accidentally aim it at earth

Why waste billions of dollars on a small space ship from a video game that is made for fast travel, when we could just construct a gigantic rocket and attach the thing to the asteroid, changing it's direction?

Because it would be cool.

We should start putting asteroids in orbit around Earth using ion thrusters or solar sails.
Resources, counterweights for future space elevators, and such.
Why not just ducktape an assload of ICBM's together and launch it towards the asteroid?
The simplier, the awesomer
Watch it be way off the grid, not coming for us, then they change the trajectory.... we all die. :downs:

Not good idea.
[QUOTE=scurr;21404750]Nuke it?[/QUOTE]
good idea, it goes from a shotgun slug to buckshot.
unless its porous then it would be like nothing happened.
