Despite hearing Bobby Jindal scoff at investing stimulus funding in the area of "volcano monitoring", I'm a big fan of keeping an eye on natural phenomena that might kill me. Now I'm wondering if any of that stimulus money is going to the expansion of NASA's near-Earth object tracking (aka "asteroid monitoring"). After reading this news yesterday, I think it might be a worthwhile investment.
