@timmermansr @eriklaan Also realize that a big asteroid will have a long warning time and that will not happen in foreseeable future.

@Marco_Langbroek @timmermansr @eriklaan if "big" means "big enough to cause bad problems", there us just no way to tell

@RainerKresken @Marco_Langbroek @eriklaan And EADP will just develop and test the necessary technology. It won't operate the system.

@timmermansr @RainerKresken @eriklaan again: do you realize that that statement flies in the face of non-prolif and outer space treaties?

@Marco_Langbroek @timmermansr @eriklaan far future: Mankind was great, but an akward wording of a 1960s treaty prevented their survival. Sad

@RainerKresken @Marco_Langbroek @eriklaan That's it exactly. Do you prefer a megaton explosion in space or a multi-megaton impact on Earth?

@timmermansr (cont.) without doing the necessary diplomatic groundwork first.

@Marco_Langbroek Good discussion BTW :-)
