(Before It's News)

NASA’s Asteroid Grand Challenge!!

 

“The truth, always the truth–at all costs”
 I will strive to give you perspectives on the news that you will rarely receive from other sources. At times, there will be eye-witness reports from troubled areas, at other times, there will be documentary,interviews and other interesting works. 
I am committed to providing information by posting/archiving videos, articles, and links. I also investigate to raise awareness on numerous issues, inspire critical thinking, involvement, and hopefully to help make our world a better place for all.

 

According to a recently published report, the report states an asteroid at least 10km wide may have seen off the dinosaurs 66m years ago, but will humankind be smart enough to avoid a similar fate?

 

Nasa is working on it. The space agency has spent the last 16 years searching for near-Earth asteroids larger than 1km in size, and claims to have found 98% of them.

 

Now it’s enlisting coders and citizen scientists to help with a survey of smaller asteroids that could still be hazardous, including the launch today of a set of “Asteroid Data Hunter” developer contests.

 

In a session at the SXSW conference today, Nasa’s Jason Kessler and Jenn Gustetic explained how the agency is using a mixture of crowdsourcing and prizes to further its asteroid-hunting efforts.

NASA’s Asteroid Grand Challenge is to find all asteroid threats to human populations and know what to do about them.
