Here's an interesting article about the need for funding to track asteroids that could potentially hit the earth and obliterate all life.

That's not the funny part.

The funny part is this quote at the end of the article:

John Logsdon, space policy director at George Washington University, said a stepped-up search for such asteroids is needed.

"You can't deflect them if you can't find them," Logsdon said. "And we can't find things that can cause massive damage."

Massive damage!!!!

This guy must be a gamer.
