Subject: Re: [FRIAM] Redfish presentation at SFI yesterdayLess slow news day, I think, than (for once) public servants doing a fine and thoughtful job. It was a riveting presentation, and I was very pleased to think my own fire department is in the lead of such planning.Then I came home to my houseguests, one of whom is a former astronaut now working on the issues of deflecting asteroids that might hit the earth. Many of the same questions--who pays? Is evacuation a sensible tool (presuming that we can't get that tractor into space to nudge the asteroid out of collision orbit)? And who pays for any of those alternatives?
