#NEOs βοΈ and Policy (page 309, conclusion) : The first two chapters outlined the gradual realization that #Earth π and the #Moon π are inundated with impacting bodies and there exists a population of these bodies that orbit the #Sun βοΈ near the orbit of Earth. With the development of more and more sophisticated detectors π, the known population of these near-Earth objects grew dramaticallyβall but erasing the reluctance of many to acknowledge the #impact risk π₯ that these objects present.
