NASA lacks asteroids funds

NASA does not have the $1 Billion required to track potentially disastrous asteroid stikes on our planet. If all ends due to an asteroid, blame the accountants of the US White House.

The cost to find at least 90 percent of the 20,000 potentially hazardous asteroids and comets by 2020 would be about $1 billion, according to a report NASA will release later this week.

"We know what to do, we just don't have the money," said Simon "Pete" Worden, director of NASA's Ames Research Center
