Please don’t forget, Asteroid Day is not about spreading panic, there is currently no asteroid on a collision course with Earth that we are aware of… Asteroid Day is about raising awareness, it is about understanding the threat and increasing our detection capabilities so that we can see the objects before it’s too late to deflect them. I believe that we must put this on our list of top priorities, we must strive to support those incredible men and women dedicated to keeping us safe from asteroids. We need to increase funding and keep the dialogue alive.
I also want to make clear that asteroids can affect any one of us and the meteor which exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia two years ago could be considered a warning shot from space - this isn’t a one nation problem.
I will devote myself to Asteroid Day for the next 12 months, however, since we are a very small (but dedicated) team, please get in touch and help if you can:
info@asteroidday.org
I hope that you will join us in raising awareness and please keep spreading the word!
Let’s do it!
best,
Grig
