Painting asteroids is a messy job. The paint drys out fast in empty space. And, by the time you deliver enough paint to do the job, you have spent your national budget on rockets. There has got to be a better way to divert these things. I hope that we will be able to put this job off for at least 1000 years when the task will be easier. I think the odds are in our favor that it will be a very long time before the big one has our name written on it.
