Are we Prepared for an Asteroid Impact?
By Radiocity Team
Published Jun 25, 2024
Recently, NASA practiced for a scary scenario: a hidden asteroid with a 72 percent chance of hitting Earth in 14 years.
Though fake, the exercise exposed several weaknesses and challenges.
This hypothetical scenario exposed critical gaps in Earth`s response plan, including difficulty in making timely decisions due to unclear procedures.
It identified challenges in coordinating a global response with clear messaging and a lack of established disaster management plans for asteroid impacts.
Luckily, NASA is developing NEO Surveyor, a telescope to find potentially hazardous asteroids years before they become a threat.
