EXCERPTS:
STOPPING ARMAGEDDON
[stopping asteroids to hit the Earth]


"There are three fundamental steps
to stopping Armageddon.
Detection and Mitigation
comprise the first two.
The third and maybe most challenged one of all
is who makes the decision when to act.
...
Right now,
there are no protocols
about what to do,
when to act,
and who makes these decisions.
in the event
of an imminent Earth impact.
