    If NASA never deflects #2012DA14 and it hits Earth one day, we'll confirm that humans possess a lethal absence of foresight.

        @neiltyson Doubtless, Republicans will filibuster efforts to avoid Earth being hit by it.

        @neiltyson isn't 1950DA a bit more concerning? I mean, 867 years isn't a long time... And I don't see politicians ever getting motivated...

        @neiltyson why we couldn't identify the meteorite before it hit Russia, whereas we were much aware of 2012DA14?

        @neiltyson Why were we aware of and tracking 2012DA14 but completely surprised by the 55ft meteor in Russia? Too small?
