Wouldn't it be better to build a lunar station than going to an asteroid?
For one, the moon is far better to save us than an asteroid cause the moon has a specific route than a asteroid. An asteroid doesn't circle the earth and we dont even know when it would be beneficial to us.

Also, how can an asteroid would save us? It would be a waste of money to budget such an expedition. Is Obama really wasting american money?

 

he just testing IF nasa have what it take to change the route of a moving asteroid, just in case if one happen to coming right for us in the future to prevent another K-T event from happening again.

 

DISCLAIMER: reading the comments made on that article may inspire suicidal urges.

I think it'd be better to just focus on the economy now, and work on Mars later... But that's just me.

 

Yea, that's true

 

I wanna go to the Mars,
