Re: Space objects <<Since the USA is collecting money around the world, it would make sense for the USA to pay I suppose. Africans can't afford much anyway and India is mostly well above sea level and can't afford much. Same for many people around the world. In the interests of getting on with it and getting the job done, it might be best for the USA just to get on with it and do it, same as with a lot of other space work, the internet creation, GPS etc.>>> An excellent reason why civilization needs a universal decision making process of some form. With meteors of various sizes raining down each day, and solid proof of major past collisions such as Tunguska and Meteor crater Az. We will get hit some day, unless science can provide an answer. Praying to the various Gods envisioned by humans during the millions of years of human history did not prevent the past collisions. Even if they did prevent some, we are looking at the events that did get manage to get through that shield. The answer to concerted action lies in education which creates awareness.And that is being stymied by many Arab leaders who control their schools, their Press and TV coverage. Our actions in Iraq have brought to light the vileness of Saddam and his regime, and Iraqis are now aware of what happened to their missing relatives.And where their share of oil wealth was going. Baghdad Bob had it wrong. Sig@wewon.com
