Especially given recent events involving
meteorites and flybys by asteroids.
It's true too. We - not just the U.S. of A., but the entire world - need to pour money into getting off this rock and colonizing space. How about instead of each country having its own space agency, a truly international one could be established and funded/supported by any and all nations that can do it. Once we're a space faring species, nationalities won't matter anyways.
Plus, it would be nice not to have humanity and all life on Earth wiped out by a lucky shot from an asteroid.
Sadly we are a tribal species with Nuclear weaponry and space technology has very military applications....
